New insights into catalysis for Heck reactions with fine supported Pd particles

React. Chem. Eng., 2020, 5,921-934
DOI: 10.1039/C9RE00480G, Paper
Lin Huang, Zhan Wang, Jozel Tan
The catalytic activity over supported Pd particles is dependent on the concentration of soluble active Pd species. The correlation that the smaller the size of supported Pd particles, the higher the catalytic activity is confirmed.
