Supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs) within macrocellular silica-based foams are prepared by a simple impregnation in organic solvents. Thin ionic liquid layers with thicknesses of 6 to 12 nm were obtained. The SILs mobility has been evidenced through NMR solid state spectroscopy. Subsequently, palladium salts are efficiently trapped within the SILPs, while an in situ palladium hydrogenation allowed an efficient reduction and formation of 10 nm diameter palladium metal nanoparticles. These hybrid foams are used as heterogeneous macrocellular catalysts for the Heck coupling reaction of iodobenzene and cyclohexyl acrylate, where palladium leaching appears to be very low. Despite recyclability minimized through the entrapment of detrimental ammonium salts within the macroporous network during the reaction, competitive TONs and TOFs were reached, while separation of the products can be reached at ease, due to the fact that both palladium species and by-products are trapped within the monolithic foams.
