Abstract
Graphene oxide supported N-heterocyclic carbene nickel complex GOCaff-NHC@Ni has been prepared by covalent binding of caffeine in the matrix of functionalized graphene oxide (GO) followed by complexation using Ni (II) acetate. [GOCaff-NHC@Ni] has been characterized by various analytical techniques, including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. [GOCaff-NHC@Ni] exhibited notable efficiency as a heterogeneous catalyst in facilitating the CH arylation reaction between benzoxazole and aryl boronic acids. Remarkably, recycling experiments indicated that the complex consistently maintained its catalytic activity over multiple cycles, exhibiting its ability to be effectively utilized up to six times without a significant decline in its catalytic performance.

Practicality: Short reaction times and simple work-up procedures enhance the practicality and efficiency of the methodology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
