Catalytic performances of cross-linking humic acids supported Pd/Ni bimetallic catalyst for heck reaction

Abstract

Catalytic performances of cross-linking humic acids supported Pd/Ni bimetallic catalyst for heck reaction The cross-linking humic acids (CL-HAs), epichlorohydrin as the cross-linking reagent and the supported Pd/Ni bimetallic catalysts (CL-HAs-Pd/Ni) were prepared and characterized by IR, AAS, XPS, TEM. The effects of reaction time, temperature, base, solvent and the amount of catalyst on the properties of the catalyst were studied. These catalysts could catalyze the Heck reaction of aryl halides and substituted aryl halides with acrylic acids or styrene successfully; the yields were all above 95%.
