The current article presented the synthesis and characterization of a novel, unique, and effective hetero- geneous catalytic system, based on a metal-organic framework named Pd@TMU-16-NH 2 with high cat- alytic performance. Also, the application of this catalyst was investigated successfully in the Sonogashira coupling reaction of various aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) with phenylacetylene. This reaction was carried out in EtOH with good to excellent yields in the presence of just 1.5 mol% of the catalyst under mild conditions. Stability, recovery, reusability, high yield products, and short reaction time are some of the noteworthy characteristics of the Pd@TMU-16-NH 2 nanocatalyst. These properties can decrease pollution to obtain the standards of green chemistry.
