Designed synthesis of atom-economical pd/ni bimetallic nanoparticle-based catalysts for sonogashira coupling reactions

Abstract

We synthesized Ni/Pd core/shell nanoparticles from the consecutive thermal decomposition of metal-surfactant complexes. The nanoparticle catalyst was atom-economically applied for various Sonogashira coupling reactions.
