The alkyne motif is a versatile functional group often encountered in organic chemistry. It can be involved in various transformations such as the alkyne-azide cycloaddition and has found widespread application in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and ...
EPFL2024New Applications of 1,3,2-Diazaphospholenes in Catalysis
The constant urge to construct new molecules in an economical and sustainable fashion led to the development of numerous metal-catalyzed transformations. Organocatalysts consisting of abundant and more sustainable elements offer an elegant solution to over ...
EPFL2024Disorder and Halide Distributions in Cesium Lead Halide Nanocrystals as Seen by Colloidal 133Cs Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Colloidal nuclear magnetic resonance (cNMR) spectroscopy on inorganic cesium lead halide nanocrystals (CsPbX3 NCs) is found to serve for noninvasive characterization and quantification of disorder within these structurally soft and labile particles. In par ...
Washington2024Reactions of hypobromous acid with dimethyl selenide, dimethyl diselenide and other organic selenium compounds: kinetics and product formation
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for many living organisms particularly due to its unique redox properties. We recently found that the sulfur (S) analog for dimethyl selenide (DMSe), i.e. dimethyl sulfide (DMS), reacts fast with the marine oxida ...

Although alkynes are one of the smallest functional groups, they are among the most versatile building blocks for organic chemistry, with applications ranging from biochemistry to material sciences. Alkynylation reactions have traditionally relied on the u ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Synthesis and Reactivity of an Anionic Diazoolefin
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bastiaan Kooij, Zhaowen Dong
Bent (hetero)allenes such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes can act as neutral C-donor ligands, and diverse applications in coordination chemistry have been reported. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins are heterocumulenes, which can function in a similar ...
2023Theory-guided development of homogeneous catalysts for the reduction of CO2 to formate, formaldehyde, and methanol derivatives
Matthew Wodrich, Shubhajit Das, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Hanna Hinrika Cramer
The stepwise catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol opens non-fossil pathways to important platform chemicals. The present article aims at identifying molecular control parameters to steer the selectivity to ...
2023Synthesis of propargyl silanes from terminal alkynes via a migratory Sonogashira reaction
Jérôme Waser, Mikus Purins, Lucas Antoine Théo Eichenberger
Herein we report a mild synthesis of propargyl silanes from terminal alkynes. We exploit a bromonaphthyl-substituted silane as a silylmethyl electrophile surrogate, which participates in a Sonogashira reaction after an aryl-to-alkyl Pd-migration. Twenty-se ...
2023Tuning the reactivity of uranium towards small molecules in multimetallic complexes
One of the main goals of organometallic chemistry in the last decades was the activation of small molecule in mild reaction conditions. Even though multiple examples of catalytic cycles able to produce fine chemicals from cheap and abundant sources using t ...
EPFL2023Formation of carbonyl compounds during ozonation of lake water and wastewater: Development of a non-target screening method and quantification of target compounds
Urs von Gunten, Joanna Maria Houska
Ozonation of natural waters is typically associated with the formation of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones and ketoacids), a main class of organic disinfection byproducts (DBPs). However, the detection of carbonyl compounds in water and wastewater is ...
