Their catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions were investigated. All these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and IR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities of N-substituted 5-nitrobenzimidazole palladium (II) complexes were screened in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. The reactions were optimized for the most suitable temperature, solvent and base system. The Pd(II) complexes exhibited good catalytic activity at the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. Additionally, the Suzuki-Miyaura showed relatively excellent activity at the coupling reaction. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
