    Application of green synthesized palladium nanoparticles using banana leaf extract in Suzuki cross-coupling reaction
    (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2019-05) Dantanarayana,S.O.A; De Silva,H.I.C
    Application of plant extract-based nanoparticles in organic synthesis has become an emerging field today due to its biocompatibility, eco-friendliness and cost efficiency.1,2 The objectives of the present study were to develop an elementary and ecological method to synthesize palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) using extracts of banana leaves, which is a commonly found agro-waste in Sri Lanka, and investigate the catalytic activity of the synthesized Pd NPs in Suzuki crosscoupling reactions.
