Heterogeneous palladium catalysts have been supported on the ordered mesoporous carbons (Pd/OMC) with bimodal pores which are prepared by the surfactant-templating approach. Characterization using XRD, TEM, XPS, H-2 chemisorption, and N-2 sorption techniques reveals that the Pd/OMC catalysts have the ordered 2-D hexagonal mesostructure (space group of p6mm), extremely high surface areas (similar to 1800 m(2)/g), large pore volumes (similar to 1.64 cm(3)/g), bimodal pores (6.3 nm of primary mesopores and 1.7 nm of secondary mesopores inside the pore walls), hydrophobic carbon surface, and small metal particles well-dispersed inside the secondary small mesopores. This catalyst exhibits a high yield of 43% for biphenyl from the Ullmann coupling reaction of chlorobenzene in water at 100 A degrees C without assistance of any phase transfer catalyst and can be reused up to 10 times, providing potential opportunities for industrial applications such as coupling and hydrogenation reactions.
