Graphical Abstract
Scaling down the activity: An efficient recyclable palladium-based catalyst has been developed for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols (see scheme). The combination of a substituted bipyridyl ligand and ordered mesoporous channels (in SBA) causes a synergistic effect that results in enhanced activity, the prevention of agglomeration of the palladium nanoparticles, and the generation of a durable catalyst.
