Oxidase-Type C-H/C-H Coupling Using an Isoquinoline-Derived Organic Photocatalyst

Oxidase-type oxidation is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis due to the use of O-2 as the terminal oxidant. Organic photocatalysis can effect metal-free oxidase chemistry. Nevertheless, current methods are limited in reaction scope, possibly due t ...

Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

New Strategies for the Functionalization of Alkenes Exploiting Tethering Chemistry and Ring Strain

Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

Amino alcohols, cyclopropanes and nitriles are privileged structural motifs found in the scaffold of natural products and bioactive compounds. In addition, they are versatile building blocks in organic chemistry. The development of new and increasingly eff ...

Evidence of Large Polarons in Photoemission Band Mapping of the Perovskite Semiconductor CsPbBr3

Majed Chergui, Nicola Marzari, Marco Grioni, Nicola Colonna, Michele Puppin, Matthias Wolf, Alberto Crepaldi, Gianmarco Gatti, Serhii Polishchuk, Thomas Roland Barillot, Riccardo De Gennaro

Lead-halide perovskite (LHP) semiconductors are emergent optoelectronic materials with outstanding transport properties which are not yet fully understood. We find signatures of large polaron formation in the electronic structure of the inorganic LHP CsPbB ...

Laser flash photolysis study of the photoinduced oxidation of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN)

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche, Silvio Canonica

Aromatic amines are aquatic contaminants for which phototransformation in surface waters can be induced by excited triplet states of dissolved organic matter ((DOM)-D-3*). The first reaction step is assumed to consist of a one-electron oxidation process of ...

Photoelectrocatalytic arene C–H amination

Xile Hu, Lei Zhang, Jingshan Luo, Dan Ren, Laurent Liardet

Photoelectrochemical cells are widely studied for solar energy conversion. However, they have rarely been used for the synthesis of high added-value organic molecules. Here we describe a strategy to use haematite, an abundant and robust photoanode, for non ...

Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylation for the Transfer of Alkynes and Nitriles Using Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Franck Le Vaillant

Aliphatic alkynes and nitriles are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. Therefore, alkynes and nitriles have played a central role for the exploration and development of novel strategies to forge C-C bonds in efficient manner. They are broadly used as v ...

Two analytical approaches quantifying the electron donating capacities of dissolved organic matter to monitor its oxidation during chlorination and ozonation

Urs von Gunten

Electron-donating activated aromatic moieties, including phenols, in dissolved organic matter (DOM) partially control its reactivity with the chemical oxidants ozone and chlorine. This comparative study introduces two sensitive analytical systems to direct ...

Effects of dissolved organic matter on the phototransformation of aromatic amines in surface waters

Frank Jonathan Leresche

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of thousands of organic molecules ubiquitously present in surface waters. Its influence on the photodegradation of organic contaminants is a complicated topic. For decades DOM had been mostly assumed to h ...

Separating the impact of oxygen and water on the long-term stability of n-channel perylene diimide thin-film transistors

Klaus Kern, Hagen Klauk, Ralf Thomas Weitz

A detailed understanding for the mechanisms that control degradation of the electrical performance of organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) during exposure to various environments, such as oxygen and humidity, is still developing. This is particularly true ...

Computational Quantum Chemical Studies on Radicals : from the Gas Phase to Aqueous Solution

Peter Rudolf Tentscher

Radicals play an important role in many areas of chemistry, such as atmospheric, aquatic, polymer, and biological, to name a few. Radicals are often highly reactive species which are short-lived and therefore harder to study by experimental techniques. In ...

Critical Evaluation of Implicit Solvent Models for Predicting Aqueous Oxidation Potentials of Neutral Organic Compounds

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jennifer Guerard

Quantum chemical implicit solvent models are used widely to estimate aqueous redox potentials. We compared the accuracy of several popular implicit solvent models (SM8, SMD, C-PCM, IEF-PCM, and COSMO-RS) for the prediction of aqueous single electron oxidat ...

Side-Chain Peptide-Synthetic Polymer Conjugates via Tandem "Ester-Amide/Thiol-Ene" Post-Polymerization Modification of Poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) Obtained Using ATRP

Harm-Anton Klok, Maarten Danial, Matthew Gibson

Herein the concept of tandem postpolymerization modification as a versatile route to synthesize well-defined, highly functionalized polymers is introduced. Poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) obtained by atom transfer radical polymerization was first modi ...

Electrochemical investigations in low conductivity organic solvents using microelectrodes : application for the scale-up of acetoxylation process in glacial acetic acid

Alain Fankhauser

Electrochemical acetoxylation has been widely investigated about 40 years ago. However, there are only a limited number of studies in non-aqueous electrolytes, mainly because of difficulties related with the extremely low electrical conductivity of organic ...

Transport and recombination in organic light-emitting diodes studied by electrically detected magnetic resonance

Frank Nüesch, Libero Zuppiroli

We have used electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) to study a series of multilayer organic devices based on aluminum (III) 8-hydroxyquinoline (Alq3). These devices were designed to identify the microscopic origin of different spin-depe ...
