Very recently, design of a heterogeneous catalyst with higher efficiency has been directed towards the development of stable supporting ligands, complexes and other catalytic species onto nanostructured materials 1, 2. Among nanostructured materials, silica mesoporous materials (SBA-15) owing to their higher stability and surface area are most popular for such purposes 3. I this study, we functionalized its analogue N-propyliminodiacetic acid (PIDA) onto SBA-15 (SBA-15/PIDA) as support of PdII ions to generate a PdII@SBA-15/PIDA catalyst Figure 1. Finally, performance catalytic PdII@SBA-15/PIDA was subsequently investigated in the Suzuki reaction with excellent conversion.
