Imidazolium-based NHC

In 2007, Tandukar and Sen reported the synthesis of a series of imidazolium-based (NHC)-Pd complexes that had been immobilized on 10 nm silica nanoparticles [40]. Complex 29 was the most active in the series, being able to couple u-butyl acrylate to a nimiber of iodo-aryls with excellent yields.
