Abstract: A series of novel amphiphilic cyclopalladated aryl imines were synthesized and characterized. These catalysts showed high activity for Heck and Suzuki reactions in homogeneous systems. Heterogeneous Langmuir-Blodgett films of the catalysts also demonstrated high catalytic activity for these coupling reactions.
