Sustainable and recyclable magnetic nanocatalyst of 1,10-phenanthroline Pd(0) complex in green synthesis of biaryls and tetrazoles using arylboronic acids as versatile substrates

Abstract A magnetic nanocatalyst was purveyed as a heterogeneous recoverable palladium-based catalyst anchored on green, sustainable and phosphine free support. Resulted Fe3O4@SiO2-Phen-Pd(0) nanocatalyst bearing powerful phenanthroline ligand was thoroughly characterized by physicochemical approaches like UV–vis, FT-IR, EDX, XRD, TGA, ICP, VSM, DLS, FESEM, and TEM analyses. After finding trustable data, the obtained magnetic catalyst was considered to be applied in the Suzuki-Miyaura type C-C couplings and getting corresponding tetrazoles using arylboronic acid derivatives as alternate precursors of aromatic halides and stupendous data were observed.
