Pyridine-derived ruthenium and platinum complexes immobilized on ordered mesoporous silica as catalysts for Heck vinylation

Ruthenium and platinum complexes immobilized on a quinoline-carboimine functionalized FSM-16 mesoporous silica were prepared and applied for Heck vinylation of aryl iodides. The catalysts were compared with Ru and Pt chlorides impregnated on the same support.
