Beschreibung:
<jats:p>The Pd complex immobilized on the functionalized polymeric support was prepared by the functionalization of the 4‐(benzyloxy)benzyl chloride polymer with 5‐phenyl‐1‐<jats:italic>H</jats:italic>‐tetrazole and the subsequent complexation with PdCl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>. Then, it was characterized with different methods and used as catalyst in the green benzylation reaction of various aryl cyanamides with benzyl bromide and K<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> in EtOH at 60°C for the appropriate times. Also, the antibacterial properties of the Pd polymer‐supported complex were studied against a number of gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria, and in some cases, it has the same effect as a tetracycline standard antibiotic against <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case"><jats:italic>Bacillus thuringiensis</jats:italic></jats:styled-content> (a gram‐positive bacterium) and <jats:italic>Serratia marcescens</jats:italic> (a gram‐negative bacterium).</jats:p>
