Highly efficient photocatalytic Suzuki coupling reaction by Pd3P/CdS catalyst under visible-light irradiation

Abstract Monodispersed palladium phosphide (Pd3P) (5.2 ± 0.5 nm) was firstly applied to photocatalytic Suzuki coupling reaction under visible light irradiation with CdS nanoflake as a photosensitizer. This heterogeneous system exhibited high yields to corresponding products and excellent stability in alcohol solvent at room temperature.
