Abstract

An N-Heterocyclic carbene palladium complex immobilized on graphene oxide (GO) with an ionic liquid framework (NHC-Pd/GO-IL) was synthesized by the modification of GO through a silylation reaction. The obtained catalyst displayed a high activity toward the Suzuki reaction in EtOH–H₂O (1:1).
