Electrochemical removal of toxic metals from reaction media following catalysis†
Abstract
Following Ni-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions, Ni is electrochemically removed on to the cathode, offering potential for recovery and reuse. The electrochemical recovery method, in combination with an analytical method developed for accurate quantification by HPLC, is expected to be broadly applicable to metal recovery following catalysis.
