The metal-catalyzed processes are ubiquitous in the modern organic synthesis toolbox. However, a continuous challenge has been related to the design of reactions from a sustainable viewpoint (e.g., easy recovery of the catalyst, ability to perform sequential steps in high yields, avoidance of high amounts of organic solvents). Supported nanocatalysts have prompted special interest because of the synergy involving eletronic and surface effects which can play key roles towards more sustainable processes. In this article, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress in cross-coupling reactions involving supported metal nanoparticles. A background to mechanisms and industrial application will also be presented.
