Ni–Pd binary nanoclusters are reported for the activation of the C–O bond for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of bioactive heterocycle-tethered sterically hindered aryl carbonates with aryl boronic acids. The reaction does not take place in the presence of either the Pd or Ni salts/complexes or the individual Pd or Ni nanoparticles, indicating ensembling cooperativity between the Pd and Ni nanoparticles in activating the C–O bond.
