Nickel stabilized by triazole-functionalized carbon nanotubes as a novel reusable and efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

Abstract

An interesting nanotube based nickel nanocatalyst was successfully prepared through “click” reaction of azide-functionalized nanotube with propargyl alcohol followed by immobilization of nickel nanoparticles. The as-prepared nanocatalysts behave as very efficient heterogeneous catalysts in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reaction in terms of activity and recyclability.
