Synthesis of Pd-supported Nanosized Mesoporous Silica as a Spherical Nanocatalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reaction
Nanosized mesoporous silica spheres with an average diameter of approximately 50 nm have been used as a catalyst support of active Pd nanoparticles, which was found to be highly efficient for Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling compared to submicrosized or microsized conventional mesoporous silicas.
