Novel triazole-modified chitosan@nickel nanoparticles: efficient and recoverable catalysts for Suzuki reaction

Abstract

We have developed an efficient strategy to prepare uniformly sized spherical NiNPs supported on chitosan surface via click chemistry. This heterogeneous catalyst has demonstrated promising catalytic activity for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Furthermore, the obtained catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and reused several times with no significant loss of activity.
