Immobilized triazine bis[mercapto amine] complexes of Pd(0) anchored nickel ferrite as a nanocatalyst for C–C coupling reaction

Abstract

Immobilized triazine bis[mercapto amine] complexes of Pd(0) (NiFe₂O₄@TABMA-Pd(0)) was easily synthesized and applied as highly efficient and versatile nanocatalyst for the synthesis of various trans stilbenes with high performance for the Heck coupling reaction of several types of aryl halides under thermal conditions. In short reaction time, excellent yields of trans stilbene derivatives have been achieved using NiFe₂O₄@TABMA-Pd(0) catalyst.
