In this work, Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) were decorated on modifed magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and used as an efcient and recyclable catalyst for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with phenylboronic acid (PhB(OH)2) in a green solvent. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized by feld emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis/diferential thermal analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry. All analyses confrmed the successful modifcation of MNPs and immobilization of Pd on modifed MNPs. This catalyst exhibited superior catalytic activity and stability in the suzuki cross-coupling reaction of PhB(OH)2 and aryl halide derivatives. This protocol includes some advantages, such as magnetically reusability of the catalyst, mild experimental conditions, green solvent, excellent yields of the product (52–98%), and short reaction times (4–33 min). The catalyst could be reused for six successive runs without any signifcant loss of its efciency.
