Abstract:
Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were synthesized on cross-linked aminomethyl polystyrene. Palladium
complexes of supported dendrimers prepared by ligand exchange method were reduced to dendrimernanoparticle
conjugates supported on polystyrene resin. The supported nanoparticles were used as
heterogeneous catalysts for the Suzuki coupling between aryl boronic acids and aryl halides. Various factors
affecting the catalysts performance were studied. Higher generation dendrimers gave well-defined
nanoparticles without agglomeration and these particles showed good catalytic performance
