An efficient reduced graphene oxide-supported heterogenized palladium complex with pyrene-tagged ketoiminato ligand has been developed and used for cross-coupling of less reactive heteroaryl halides in water. Desirable catalytic activity was observed with high (up to 98%) conversion of the less reactive reactants under relatively mild conditions. The efficiency and green nature of the catalyst were confirmed without significant loss of activity.
