“…[47,48] Many studies have reported on the improvements in the activity and selectivity of these catalysts where Pd NPs are formed during the reaction that acts as the active catalyst. [46,49,50] However, ligands used in the system and the corresponding catalysts have several disadvantages such as the use of expensive, toxic phosphine ligands and organic solvents, harsh reaction condition, low yield, environmental problems caused by the side product formation, inert atmosphere conditions. Also, the phosphine ligands are readily oxidized to their corresponding phosphine oxides, which can prevent the easy recovery and recycling of the catalyst.…”
