Abstract
A method is described for making a poly-aminophenol-based hybrid material by in situ polymerization of aminophenol using palladium acetate as the oxidant. The oxidative polymerization of aminophenol leads to the formation of poly-aminophenol, while the reduction of palladium acetate results in the formation of palladium nanoparticles. The palladium nanoparticles were found to be highly dispersed and stabilized throughout the polymer matrix. The hybrid nanocomposite material showed excellent catalytic efficiency with respect to a Heck coupling reaction at a relatively low temperature and under flexible conditions.
