Alkynylation with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser

Alkynes are among the most versatile functional groups in organic synthesis. They are also frequently used in chemical biology and materials science. Whereas alkynes are traditionally added as nucleophiles into organic molecules, hypervalent iodine reagent ...

Cyclic Hypervalent Iodine Reagents and Pd-Catalysis

Maria Victoria Vita

Developing new strategies and methods to explore new dimensions of the chemical space represents an important goal for organic chemists. One particular synthetic approach that emerged in the last decades is Umpolung: the normal polarity of chemical functio ...

1-Alkynyltriazenes as Functional Analogues of Ynamides

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Jérôme Waser, Gregor Kiefer, Sophie Lucie Racine, Loïc Nicolas Jeanbourquin, Florian Gérald Abela, Daniele Perrotta

The chemical reactivity of 1-alkynyltriazenes has been investigated and is found to parallel the reactivity of ynamides. The similarity in reactivity of these two classes of compounds is demonstrated by addition reactions with acids, by cycloaddition react ...

Molecular Engineering of Pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine-Based Donor-Acceptor-pi- Acceptor Organic Sensitizers: Effect of Auxiliary Acceptor in Cobalt- and Iodine-Based Electrolytes

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Fabrizio Giordano, Jean-David Décoppet, Bo Liu

Due to the ease of tuning its redox potential, the cobalt-based redox couple has been extensively applied for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with extraordinarily high photovoltages. However, a cobalt electrolyte needs particular struct ...

The Maya blue nanostructured material concept applied to colouring geopolymers

Guillaume Habert, Aurélie Rosine Favier

Maya blue is an ancient nanostructured pigment synthetized by assembling indigo, a natural dye, with palygorskite, a microfibrous clay mineral. The novelty of our approach is to mimic "pre-Columbian nanotechnology" and to functionalize geopolymers with a s ...

Dithieno[2,3-d;2 ',3 '-d ']benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b ']-dithiophene based organic sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Peng Gao, Hoi Nok Tsao, Xin Guo

We report two novel D-pi-A type organic dyes with a coplanar dithieno[2,3-d; 2',3'-d']benzo[1,2 b;4,5-b']dithiophene (DTBDT) as pi-spacer for dye-sensitized solar cells. A best device performance with a power conversion efficiency of 6.32% is achieved, mak ...

Energy-level alignment in organic dye-sensitized TiO2 from GW calculations

Filippo de Angelis, Luigi Giacomazzi

The electronic energy levels of some representative isolated and oxide-supported organic dyes, relevant for photovoltaic applications, are investigated using many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation. We consider a set of all-organic dyes ( ...

High-conversion-efficiency organic dye-sensitized solar cells: molecular engineering on D-A-pi-A featured organic indoline dyes

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Magdalena Anna Marszalek, Yinghui Wu, Qixing Zhang

This paper reports a new D-A-pi-A organic dye WS-9, which is derived from the known dye WS-2 by incorporating an n-hexylthiophene unit into the pi-conjugation. Due to the presence of a strong electron-withdrawing benzothiadiazole unit in the pi-bridge, the ...

Cyclopropanes and Hypervalent Iodine Reagents: High Energy Compounds for Applications in Synthesis and Catalysis

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Jonathan Brand, Filippo De Simone

One of the major challenges faced by organic chemistry is the efficient synthesis of increasingly complex molecules. Since October 2007, the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO) at EPFL has been working on the development of catalytic react ...
