An efficient and recyclable ligand-free heterogeneous catalyst has been prepared by the immobilization of palladium onto ground pearl shell powders (Pd/shell powders, Pd/SP). The catalytic activity and recyclability of the prepared Pd/SP along with the charcoal and calcium carbonate supported palladium (Pd/C and Pd/CaCO3) catalysts have been evaluated using the reductive homocoupling of aromatic halides. Pd/SP not only has higher catalytic activity, but also exhibits much stronger stability than Pd/C and Pd/CaCO3. The remarkable Pd/SP stability has been attributed to the chelation of palladium species with the surface chitin and protein molecules of the supported pearl shell powders. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies show that the reductive Pd-0 species can be regenerated in situ from the oxidative Pd2+ species for the Pd/SP catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aromatic halides in ethanol/DMSO solution, suggesting that the heterogeneous and homogeneous palladium catalysis proceeds through a similar Pd-0/Pd2+ cycle catalytic mechanism.
