Organoselenium–palladium(ii) complex immobilized on functionalized magnetic nanoparticles as a promising retrievable nanocatalyst for the “phosphine-free” Heck–Mizoroki coupling reaction

An air- and moisture-stable organoselenium–palladium complex immobilized on silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles is designed, synthesized and applied as a practical and retrievable catalyst in the Heck–Mizoroki cross-coupling reaction.
