A nanoreactor of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-grafted Pd nanoparticle (Pd@PNIPAM) is proposed for the Suzuki reaction performed in the sole solvent of water. The Pd@PNIPAM nanoparticle has a core of Pd nanoparticle and a corona of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes. The Pd@PNIPAM nanoparticle can act as a nanoreactor for the Suzuki reaction since the grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes provide a nanoenvironment for guest molecules. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic reactants can be enriched in the nanoreactor of Pd@PNIPAM, and therefore the Suzuki reaction within the nanoreactor is performed in water at room temperature or above the phase-transition temperature of the corona-forming brushes of poly(Nisopropylacrylamide). Besides, the nanoreactor of Pd@PNIPAM can be recycled due to the reversible phasetransition of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes.
