ZrFe۲O۴@SiO۲-Glycine-Pd: green, magnetic, and versatile catalyst for the C-C coupling reaction

In this research project, silica-modified ZrFe۲O۴ magnetic nanoparticles were prepared in a simple, short,and straightforward way. Subsequently, an efficient catalyst through immobilization of ascorbic acid on the surface ofsilica-coated ZrFe۲O۴ nanoparticles has been produced. The physical and chemical properties of ZrFe۲O۴@SiO۲-Glycine-Pd were considered by XRD, FT-IR, TGA, SEM, EDS, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. Thecatalytic activity of described magnetic nanocatalyst was checked out for the synthesis of C-C coupling reaction. Thedescribed catalyst was recovered and reused for five continuous cycles without considerable change in its catalyticactivity.
