Organic reactions carried out in water under mild conditions are state‐of‐the‐art in terms of environmentally benign chemical processes. In this direction, plasmonic catalysis can aid in accomplishing such tasks. In the present work, cyclodextrin‐mediated AuPd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) were applied in room‐temperature aqueous Suzuki‐Miyaura reactions aiming at preparing biaryl products based on fluorene, isatin, benzimidazole and resorcinol, with yields of 77 % up to 95 %. AuPd NPs were revealed to be a physical mixture of Au and Pd particles circa 20 and 2 nm, respectively, through X‐ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, UV‐Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
