graphene oxide supported schiff–base/palladium complex: an efficient and recoverable catalyst for suzuki-miyaura coupling reaction

In the current research, preparation, characterization and catalytic application of a novel schiff-base/pd complex immobilized onto graphene oxide (go−sb/pd) are investigated. the go−sb/pd was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, diffuse reflectance uv–visible, raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray (edx) analysis. it was found that the go−sb/pd can act as an efficient catalyst in the suzuki–miyaura cross−coupling of phenylboronic acid with aryl halides. moreover, the catalyst could be readily recycled and reused for several times without discernible loss in activity.
