We straightforwardly synthesized 18 different types of palladium nanoparticles by using a series of palladium
metal precursors and ionic liquids. All the materials went for XRD, TEM, and ICP-OES analysis, before going to Heck
cross-coupling reaction as a catalyst. We evaluated the catalytic performance of our developed IL#Pd MNP catalyst over
Heck cross-coupling reaction between different terminal olefins with various 3-iodo-benzopyrones, including sterically hindered, electron-rich, electron neutral and electron-deficient systems. We obtained the Heck cross-coupling reaction product
in good to average yield under phosphine free reaction condition with an added advantage of 6 times catalyst recycling.
