The catalytic activity tests showed remarkable product yields as well as TON (19800) and TOF (330000) values with a small catalyst loading. In addition, the catalyst indicated good recyclability in the Suzuki C-C reaction. This biopolymer supported catalyst can be used with various catalyst systems due to its unique properties, such as being inert, green in nature, low cost and chemically durable.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBio-polymerBiarylsSchiff BaseMicrowaveReusabilityArticle113459159810.1016/j.molstruc.2017.01.005Q1WOS:000394919100067N/A
