Preparation, characterization and catalytic activity of amphiphilic cyclopalladated aryl imines and their Langmuir-Blodgett films

A series of novel amphiphilic cyclopalladated aryl imines were synthesized and characterized. These catalysts showed high activity for Heck and Suzuki reactions in homogeneous systems. Heterogeneous Langmuir-Blodgett films of the catalysts also demonstrated high catalytic activity for these coupling reactions.

Graphical AbstractThe amphiphilic cyclopalladated aryl imine catalysts were successfully transferred on the solid slides and can be used for the Suzuki reactions.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
