포스핀(phosphine) 리간드(ligand)가 도포된 메조포러스 실리카(mesoporous silicas)에 팔라듐 나노입자를 도입하여 새로운 팔라듐(Pd) 불균일 촉매(heterogeneous catalyst)를 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매는 브롬화벤젠 유도체(bromobenzene derivatives)들의 Suzuki cross-coupling 반응에 대하여 뛰어난 촉매활성을 나타내었고 촉매를 두 번째 사용하였을 때는 수율이 감소하였다.
Phosphine ligand-grafted mesoporous silica materials with large pores were prepared for the ligand-modified heterogeneous Pd nanocatalysts. New heterogeneous catalytic system was developed using palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in phosphine ligand-grafted mesoporous silica. The catalyst showed good catalytic activities for Suzuki cross-coupling using bromobenzene derivatives due to excellent phosphine ligand effects. Catalytic results showed nanoparticle catalysts can be recycled twice with decreased yields.
