"designed and optimized for solid-state, mechanochemical synthesis... linking palladium through phosphine ligand to polymer polyethylene glycol traps catalyst in fluid-phase enabling efficient reactivity near room temperature... significant savings in costs and energy consumption in commercial chemical processes while allowing more environmentally friendly large-scale production... could be adapted for many other reactions, and also for catalysts using other elements from the transition metals"
