Abstract

By merging the disciplines of organometallic chemistry and surface nanotechnology, we have studied a novel material that combines tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (Pd(PPh3)4), a useful organometallic catalyst for producing pharmaceutical substances, with a sulfur-terminated GaAs(001) substrate grown by molecular beam epitaxy. This organopalladium catalyst is reusable in the Heck reaction and Suzuki coupling.
