We present a novel strategy based on the immobilization of a palladium complex on reduced graphene oxide for the development of a heterogeneous catalytic system with high efficiency and good recyclability. The prepared catalyst was tested for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and shown to have a high catalytic efficiency, giving 83-98% conversion of the reactants under mild conditions. Moreover, it could be readily recycled and reused several times without significant loss of activity.
