Fig. 5: Reusability of Y3Pd2.

a Recycling experiment for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction over Y3Pd2. Reaction conditions: Pd (40 mol% relative to organohalide); 0.5 mmol iodide, 0.8 mmol phenylboronic acid, 1.5 mmol K2CO3, 5 ml solvent, 30 °C. b Powder XRD patterns for as-prepared and used (after 5, 10, 15, and 20 cycles) Y3Pd2 catalyst. c XPS Pd 3d spectra for the as-prepared and used (after 20 cycles) Y3Pd2 catalyst.
