Supported Pd nanoparticles on Mn-based metal–organic coordination polymer: Efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for Mizoroki–Heck cross coupling reaction of terminal alkenes

Supported palladium nanoparticles on Mn-carboxylate coordination polymer (Pd/MnBDC) were prepared using solution impregnation method. This new catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, XPS, FTIR and TGA analysis. The Pd/MnBDC exhibits efficient catalytic activity for the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction between iodobenzene and either aromatic or aliphatic terminal alkenes and reuses up to four runs without significant loss of activities.
