Catalysis is an essential part of synthesis. Greener, more environmentally friendly methods of catalysis are a key aspect in attaining one pot synthesis, or even solventless conditions. Through inorganic means we aim to synthesize a palladium-based complex that is supported on various resins. This wide range of recyclable, solid-supported NHC complexes are synthesized by utilizing imidazole ionic liquids. These catalysts are then tested in carbon-carbon coupling reactions such as Sonogashira, Suzuki, and Heck. We hope to understand the effects unique counter ions, chain length degree, and differing solid-support will have on each catalyst. Numerous methods and processes will be used to determine a simple pathway for developing each catalyst. These pathways will be discussed in detail.
