Recyclable Transition Metal Catalysis Using Bipyridine-Functionalized Sba-15 By Co-Condensation Of Methallylsilane With Teos

Well-defined recyclable Pd- and Rh-bipyridyl group-impregnated SBA-15 catalysts were prepared for C-C bond coupling reaction and selective hydrogenation reactions, respectively. These SBA-15 derived ligands for the catalysts were prepared by direct and indirect co-condensation method using bipyridyl-linked methallylsilane. This indirect method, involving methoxysilane generated from methallylsilane shows higher loading efficiency of transition metal catalysts on SBA-15 than the direct use of methallylsilane.
