Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are recognized as two-dimensional (2D) clay materials, which comprise the interlayer anions and host layers with a positive charge (brucite-like M(OH)6 octahedral). They have been used as effective and eco-friendly heterogeneous catalytic systems in cross-coupling reactions. In this review, we try to underscore the applications of (LDHs) as an efficient and green catalyst in some important name reactions, namely Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira, and Ullmann cross-coupling reactions leading to carbon–carbon bond formations.
