Oxidovanadium(IV) sulfate catalyses light-driven C–N bond formation
Oxidovanadium(IV) sulfate, VIVOSO4, is shown to catalyze efficiently the amidation of the C–H bond of aldehydes by N-chloramine derivatives for the selective synthesis of amides. The catalytic process is driven by visible ...
Hydrogen-Bonded Matched Ion Pair Gold(I) Catalysis
The enantioselective reaction of 1,6-enynes with O-, N-, and C-nucleophiles has been developed by matched ion pair gold(I) catalysis in which the chiral gold(I) cation and anion are H-bonded through a urea group. Very high ...
A Robust Heterodimeric Bis-Rh(III)-Porphyrin Macrocycle for the Self-Assembly of a Kinetically Stable [2]-Rotaxane
We report the self-assembly of a robust di-nuclear tetralactam macrocyle based on two symmetric components: a Rh(III) bis-porphyrin and a bis-pyridyl ligand. We probe the binding properties of the tetralactam macrocycle ...
The role of polaronic states in the enhancement of CO oxidation by single-atom Pt/CeO2
Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) have shown that the miniaturization of the active site implies new phenomena like dynamic charge transfer between isolated metal atoms and the oxide. To obtain direct proof of this character ...
Micromolar Affinity and Higher: Synthetic Host–Guest Complexes with High Stabilities
The design of high-affinity synthetic host–guest complexes is of paramount importance because they are key elements in constructing unprecedented supramolecular assemblies, functional materials, molecular probes, artificial ...
A General Light-Driven Organocatalytic Platform for the Activation of Inert Substrates
Due to their strong covalent bonds and low reduction potentials, activating inert substrates is challenging. Recent advances in photoredox catalysis offered a number of solutions, each of which useful for activating specific ...
Charge-controlled Pd catalysis enables the meta-C–H activation and olefination of arenes
The regioselective C–H activation of arenes remains one of the most promising techniques for accessing highly important functionalized motifs. Such functionalizations can generally be achieved through directed and non-directed ...
1,2-Arylsulfonylation of Vinyl Ethers and Esters Enabled by Dual Ni Catalysis
A dual photocatalytic sulfonylation-arylation of electron-rich alkenes is described. By combining sulfinate salts, (hetero)-aryl-bromides and 2,3-dihydrofuran under Ru and Ni dual catalysis, over 35 examples of aryl-sulfonylated ...
