Abstract
Cheap, recyclable, and robust cellulose-palladium nanoparticles were developed and fully characterized by FTIR, TEM, XPS, TGA, and NMR. The nanoparticles enabled cross-coupling chemistry in a truly general fashion i.e., Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck, Sonogashira, and C–H activation. Notably, all types of transformations were achieved with a single type of nanocatalyst. Complete recyclability of the catalyst and low traces of palladium in the product demonstrates the greenness of the protocol.
