Novel palladium-doped nanoporous carbon composite material obtained via thermolysis of amorphous zeolitic imidazolate framework (aZIF) was synthesized and used as an efficient catalyst on Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reactions of aryl bromides. With this developed catalytic system, the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was accomplished in aqueous solutions, and biaryls were obtained in good to excellent yields in a short reaction time. The APC-750@Pd catalyst was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Eicroscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis tecniques. N-doped porous carbon material (NPC-1000) was synthesized by thermolysis from aZIF.Activated porous carbon material (APC-750) was fabricated via fused at 750 C with KOH from NPC-1000. The APC-750@Pd was obtained as a result of the interaction of APC-750 and PdCl 2 in deionized water. The cross-coupling reaction of different aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid was investigated to show the potential of the APC-750@Pd in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The APC-750@Pd catalyst could be recycled at least five times with a 15% loss of catalytic efficiency in this catalytic system.
