“…[2,4,5,14,38] The high surface-tovolume ratio in the nanometer dimension even makes Pd NPs more effective catalyst. [3,24,39] Subsequently Pd NPs are widely used as catalyst in low-temperature oxidation/reduction of automobile pollutants, [40][41][42] coupling reactions, [2,4,24,[30][31][32][43][44][45] hydrogenation reaction [23,46] as well as other organic reactions. However, Pd earned a reputation as a catalyst for their remarkable success in C-C coupling reactions which is considered to be one of the most powerful and a versatile method for the synthesis of asymmetric biaryl compounds from aryl boronic acids and aryl halides.…”
