Supramolecular immobilization of a perfluoro-tagged Pd-catalyst with dendritic architectures and application in Suzuki reactions

A new supramolecular complex of a perfluoro-tagged palladium phosphine catalyst to a dendritic core-shell architecture with a perfluoroalkyl shell was used as recoverable catalyst for Suzuki couplings. This homogeneous complex can also serve as a model for related catalysts adsorbed on fluorous silica gel.
