Abstract

Abstract A new PEG-tagged material, which was prepared by a threefold copper-catalyzed [3+ 2] cycloaddition (click chemistry), was found to act as an efficient stabilizer for palladium nanoparticles. The newly formed material proved to be active as a recyclable catalyst in Suzuki coupling; the presence of polyether chains allowed for the catalytic runs to be conducted in aqueous media.
