The chemical structures of the synthesized catalyst were characterized with the FTIR, TG/DTG, ICP-OES, SEM/EDAX, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, GC/MS, XRD, and magnetic moment techniques. The reusability and catalytic behavior of heterogeneous catalyst was tested towards Suzuki reactions. As a result of the tests, excellent selectivity was obtained, and by-products of homo coupling were not seen in the spectra. The biaryls products were identified on a GC/MS. In addition, it was determined in the reusability tests that the catalysts could be used several times (seven runs). More importantly, with very low catalyst loading (6 x 10(-3) mol %) in very short reaction time (5 min), chitosan Schiff base supported Pd(II) complex gave high TON and TOF values. These findings showed that Schiff base supported Pd(II) catalyst is suitable for Suzuki cross coupling reactions. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
