Abstract

Nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon (N-MPC)-supported monometallic and bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by using hydrothermal and impregnation method, and the catalytic activity of the catalyst to carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions (Suzuki, Heck and Sonogashira reactions) was studied. The bimetallic catalyst Pd-Ni@N-MPC with high Ni to Pd atomic ratios showed highly activity in the C–C coupling reactions of aryl halide under optimized condition. In contrast to their monometallic counterparts, such Pd-Ni@N-MPC catalyst not only show higher catalytic activity but also show more economic and stable. The catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy, which demonstrated that the Pd–Ni NPs highly dispersed and possessed uniform size.
