report a simple method for the synthesis of silicadiphenyl phos-

reduces Pd(II) into nano-Pd(0) supported SDPP. This new nano-
Pd catalyst acts efficiently for aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides,

The amount of P(III) in these phosphorylated silica compounds
(II–IV) were found by their reaction with molecular iodine and
back titration with aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate. This
was found to be in the range of 1.66 mmol/g for II and III and
2.25 mmol/g for (IV). In continuation of our recent work on
Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions [21], we applied these new sil-
