Polypyrrole-Palladium Nanocomposite-Coated Latex Particles as a Heterogeneous Catalyst in Water
Polypyrrole-palladium nanocomposite-coated cross-linked polystyrene latex particles (PS/PPy-Pd) showed an excellent catalytic activity for Suzuki and Heck reactions in aqueous media. The PS/PPy-Pd can be recovered easily and quantitatively through the repeated uses with simple filtration and they maintain their high catalytic activities.
