KCC-1 has high surface area that was functionalized with 1,3-bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyloxy)benzene groups acting as the strong performers so that the Pd (II) was complex without aggregation on the fibers of the KCC-1 microspheres (KCC-1/BTB/Pd). For synthesis of 3-sulfenylindoles from aryl iodide, indoles, and thiourea used from the KCC-1/BTB/Pd NPs as a catalyst that showed excellent catalytic activities under green conditions. Compared with the traditional substrate, KCC-1/BTB/Pd substantially increases protection and the accessibility of the nanoparticle sites due to its three dimensional hierarchical structure.
