Fall 2011
This thesis focuses on synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications of iron-based nanoparticles (NPs) in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Palladium “decorated” Fe@FexOy NPs (Fe@FexOy/Pd NPs) were prepared making use of established reducing nature and coordinating ability of the...
