The Magnetite@MCM-41@NHC@Pd catalyst was obtained with Pd metal bound to the NHC ligand anchored to the surface of Fe3O4@MCM-41. It was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy disperse X-ray analysis (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The amount of Pd in the Magnetite@MCM-41@NHC@Pd was measure by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis. The catalytic activity of Magnetite@MCM-41@NHC@Pd heterogeneous catalyst done on Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl halides with different substituted arylboronic acid derivatives. All coupling reactions afforded excellent yields and up to 408404 Turnover Frequency (TOF) h(-1) in the presence of 2 mg of Magnetite@MCM-41@NHC@Pd catalyst (0.0564 mmol g(-1), 0.01127 mmol% Pd) at room temperature in 2-propanol/H2O (1:2). Moreover, Magnetite@MCM-41@NHC@Pd catalyst was recover by applying the magnet and reused for another reaction. The catalyst showed excellent structural and chemical stability and reused ten times without a substantial loss in its catalytic performance.
