Access to highly active Ni–Pd bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts for C–C coupling reactions

Abstract

A facile access to highly active (with enhanced TONs/TOFs) and durable bimetallic Ni–Pd nanoparticle catalysts for C–C coupling reactions was achieved by tuning Ni to Pd atomic ratio in the Ni–Pd nanoparticle catalyst and therefore the electronic charge transfer from Ni to Pd.
