Abstract

This study rationally designed a heterogeneously catalyzed system (i.e., using Ni-Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite (Ni-Pd/HAP) under an H2 atmosphere) achieving an efficient base-free formal C-S bond metathesis of various thiols via suppression of the Ni catalysis deactivation.
