Magnetic carbon coated cobalt nanoparticles have proved to be versatile platforms for catalysts and reagents. We present here a new application by utilizing the carbon layer as superhydrophobic layer to grow mesoporous bakelite type polymers around it in which metals nanoparticles of clusters can be emebedded. This way, magnetically retrievable palladium catalysts could be generated that showed extraordinary activity in Heck reactions with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides.
