Graphene Oxide Grafted with Pd17Se15 Nano-Particles Generated from a Single Source Precursor as a Re

Chem. Commun. 2013, 49, 7483-7485

The Pd17Se15 nanoparticles, synthesized for the first time from a single source precursor [Pd(L)Cl2] {L = 1,3-bis(phenylselenyl)propan-2-ol} and grafted onto graphene oxide, show high catalytic activity in C–O coupling between aryl/heteroaryl chlorides/bromides and phenol at room temperature (Pd loading 1 mol%; yield up to 94%).
