title: Synthesis of small palladium nanoparticles stabilized by bisphosphine BINAP bearing an alkyl chain and their palladium nanoparticle-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling reactions under room-temperature.
abstract: A new bisphosphine ligand, C8-BINAP, and C8-BINAP-stabilized palladium nanoparticles have been prepared; C8-BINAP was found to be an effective protecting ligand for preparing and stabilizing palladium nanoparticles with very small core size and narrow size distribution and the C8-BINAP-Pd nanoparticles behave as an efficient catalyst for carbon-carbon coupling reactions at room temperature.
