Novel 3D coordination palladium-network complex: A recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

A novel solid-phase 3D metal-organic coordination network catalyst was prepared via self-assembly from PdCl2(CH3CN)(2) and a trisphosphine hub with three flexible alkyl-chain linkers. This insoluble network complex efficiently catalyzed the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction under atmospheric conditions in water. This catalyst was reused without loss of catalytic activity.
