Highly dispersed nickel-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (～2 nm) on ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (NiPd@CMK-3) were simply prepared using a co-infiltration method of the metal salts. The nanoparticles were successfully applied to the mild Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions at 25～50 °C using 4-bromoanisole and phenylboronic acid, and showed excellent catalytic performance with the high activity (0.521×10^?3 mol_c ? g_am^?1 ? s^?1) and productivity (69.1 g_p ? g_cat^?1 ? h^?1).
