Pyrazolium Ionic Liquid Co-catalysts for the Electroreduction of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev, Erfan Shirzadi

Pyrazolium ionic liquids (Pz ILs) were employed as co-catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO on a silver disk electrode, leading to a significant decrease in the onset potential for the reduction (ca. 500 mV). The electrochemical conversion ...

Metal-Organic-Framework-Derived Co3S4 Hollow Nanoboxes for the Selective Reduction of Nitroarenes

Emad Oveisi, Wendy Lee Queen, Shuliang Yang, Daniel Teav Sun, Li Peng, Safak Bulut

MOF-derived Co3S4/CN hollow nanoboxes (CN=nitrogen-doped carbon) was used to catalyze the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes to anilines under mild reaction conditions with H-2 as the reducing agent. The catalyst provides high conversion efficiencies ...

To each his own: isonitriles for all flavors. Functionalized isocyanides as valuable tools in organic synthesis

Jieping Zhu

The term functionalized isocyanides refers to all those isocyanides in which a neighbouring functional group can finely tune the reactivity of the isocyano group or can be exploited in post-functionalization processes. In this manuscript, we have reviewed ...

Guidelines and Diagnostics for Charge Carrier Tuning in Thiophene-Based Wires

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ganna Gryn'ova, Pauline Jeanne Ollitrault

Reported experimental trends in charge carrier tuning in single molecule junctions of oligothiophene-based wires are rationalized by means of frontier molecular orbital theory. The length and substituent effects on the frontier orbitals energy levels’ are ...

2-(Trifluoromethyl)indoles via Pd(0)-Catalyzed C(sp(3))-H Functionalization of Trifluoroacetimidoyl Chlorides

Nicolai Cramer, Julia Pedroni

Perfluoroalkylated indoles are valuable compounds in drug discovery. A Pd(0)-catalyzed C(sp(3))-H functionalization enables access to 2-(trifluoromethyl)indoles from trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides. These are stable compounds, easily obtained from anilines. ...
