Smith et al <strong>in</strong>troduced the use of Pd(II)-exchanged perovskites (LaFe0.57Co0.38<br />

Pd0.05O3) as a new class of <strong>catalysts</strong> <strong>in</strong> the Suzuki coupl<strong>in</strong>g of 2-bromoanisole, 2-bromo<br />

pyrid<strong>in</strong>e and arylboronic acids with low levels of Pd leach<strong>in</strong>g at 80 °C (Smith et al.<br />

2003).<br />

Zeolites, which have specific properties because of their well-def<strong>in</strong>ed structure<br />

and pores with molecular dimensions, have been also used as a support material (Smith<br />

and Nothesisz 1995).<br />

3.3.1. Structural Features of Zeolite<br />

Zeolites are three-dimensional, microporous, crystall<strong>in</strong>e solids with well-def<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

structures that conta<strong>in</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>um, silicon, and oxygen <strong>in</strong> their regular framework;<br />

cations and water are located <strong>in</strong> the pores. Zeolites have a uniform pore structure<br />

(Weitkamp and Puppe 1999).<br />

The formula of zeolite is written as M2/n. Al2O3. xSiO2. yH2O where n is the<br />

cation valence; M is the cation which balances the negative charge.<br />

The framework of zeolites consists of (SiO4) 4− and (AlO4) 5− , comb<strong>in</strong>ed with<br />

each other at the corners by shar<strong>in</strong>g their oxygen, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the general formula of<br />

(AlO2)x. (SiO2)(n-x), Where n is the number of tetrahedra per unit cell, and x≤ n/2<br />

(Weitkamp and Puppe 1999).<br />
