	abstract = {An inorganic-organic hybrid catalyst, Ru(II)Cym@PMOB, was synthesized by anchoring of [Ru(II)Cl-2(Pcymene)](2) complex which is derived from a reaction between hydrated ruthenium(III) trichloride and ocphellandrene over aminofunctionalized benzene-organosilica (PMOB). In the context of secondary alcohol synthesis from ketones, transfer hydrogenation (TH) reactions are convenient compared to conventional hydrogenation reactions owing to its lower activation energy and ambient pressure and mild temperature reaction" conditions. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by CHN analysis, XRD, ICP, N-2-sorption analysis, TG \& DTA, FFIR,C-13 \& 29Si solid NMR, UV-vis, TEM, SEM and XPS. The catalytic activities of neat [Ru(II)C-12(p-cymene)]2 complex and Ru(II)Cym@PMOB were evaluated in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones (-97\%) and compared with conventional hydrogenation reactions (-5\%) where molecular H-2 was used. The results showed Ru(II)Cym@PMOB as highly active catalyst towards transfer hydrogenation (TH) reaction of acetophenones compared to neat [Ru(II)Cl-2(p-cymene)(12) complex. The heterogeneity of Ru(II)Cym@PMOB was confirmed by Sheldon{\textquoteright}s test. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {Highly efficient SBA-15-EDTA-Pd(11) heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized by covalent anchoring Pd-EDTA complex over organo-modified surface of SBA-15. SBA-15-EDTA-Pd(11) catalyst was found to exhibit excellent catalytic activity in appreciable yield for Heck, Stille and Kumada cross-coupling reactions. Catalytic system exhibited excellent activity for completion of reaction, isolation, Pd loading (0.87 mmol\%) and yields of products as compared to earlier reported heterogeneous supported Pd catalysts. Covalently anchored heterogeneous SBA-15-EDTA-Pd(11) catalyst can be recycled for more than five times without noticeable loss in activity and selectivity.},
