A time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) method with 40 ns time resolution and a high sensitivity suitable for the detection of short-lived radicals under thermal equilibrium is developed. The key is the introduction of a new detection …
Zigzag molecular belts have captured the imagination of scientists for over a half century because of their aesthetically appealing structures and antalizing properties. One of the formidable challenges in synthesis is to circumvent the energy …
Pd-catalyzed reactions of azides with CO to access an isocynate intermediate have been developed extensively in recent years. However, the catalytic carbonylation of sensitive acyl azides has not been reported. Herein, we report a simple Pd-catalyzed …
Olefin isomerization is a significant transformation in organic synthesis, which provides a convenient synthetic route for internal olefins and remote functionalization processes. The selectivity of an olefin isomerization process is often …
Water oxidation is the key step in both natural and artificial photosynthesis to capture solar energy for fuel production. The design of highly efficient and stable molecular catalysts for water oxidation based on nonprecious metals is still a great …
