Plasmonic catalysis for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction using palladium nanoflowers
Abstract
Plasmonic catalysis enables the realization of reactions using solar light with less energy and time consumption. Pd nanoflowers synthesized by a radiolytic reduction of PdII(acac)2 in ethanol under a CO atmosphere exhibit a broad plasmon band in the visible–near infrared domain. These plasmonic nanostructures showed remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic activity for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions under visible light irradiation.
