CC bond formation strategy through ecocatalysis: Insights from structural studies and synthetic potential

- Efficient metal accumulation by plants via rhizofiltration.
- Preparation of palladium based catalysts via thermal treatment of biomass (roots).
- Utilization of bio-sourced Pd containing materials (Eco-Pd®) as efficient catalysts in Suzuki and Heck cross coupling reactions.
- Unprecedented high catalytic activity for exclusively bio-sourced metal catalysts.
