In the present study, oxidative coupling of thiols was carried out using immobilized Cu, Ni and Pd complexes on SBA-15 mesostructured as novel and green heterogeneous catalysts under mild reaction conditions. These supported complexes were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TEM, TGA, EDX, ICP and BET techniques. These nanohybrid robust catalysts have outstanding advantages such as facile synthesis, use of green medium, high surface area, easy separation and workup, excellent reused for several consecutive cycles without noticeable change in its catalytic activity, and short reaction time
