Mesoporous-silica-coated palladium-nanocubes as recyclable nanocatalyst in C-C-coupling reaction - a green approach.

We report the straightforward design of a recyclable palladium-core-silica-shell nanocatalyst showing an excellent balance between sufficient stability and permeability. The overall process - design, catalysis and purification - is characterized by its sustainability and simplicity accompanied by a great recycling potential and ultra high yields in C-C-coupling reactions.
