Mesoporous SBA-15 was modified with organic functional groups by co-condensation method. The functionalized mesoporous silica can be loaded with palladium and the resulting material used as a catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. Highly dispersed and uniform palladium nanoparticles could be detected using transmission electron microscopy. The Pd-SBA-15 nanocomposite with controlled molar ratio of amino groups to palladium exhibits an excellent catalytic activity and low Pd leaching for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. The catalyst can also be reused at least six recycles in air with only a minor loss of activity.
