Abstract: Solvent-dispersible magnetite particles (Fe₃O₄) functionalized with dopamine (DA) and N, N-dimethylglycine (DMG) were successfully prepared by a one-pot synthesis method with environment friendly materials. Then Pd-⁰ nanoparticles were anchored onto the functionalized Fe₃O₄. The prepared materials were thoroughly characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR and VSM. The resultant magnetically recoverable Pd catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the C-C coupling reaction. In addition, this catalyst revealed high efficiency and stability during recycling stages. This work should be useful for the development and application of a magnetically recoverable Pd catalyst on the basis of green chemistry principles.
