Photocatalytic Decarboxylative Coupling of Aliphatic N-hydroxyphthalimide Esters with Polyfluoroaryl Nucleophiles

Xile Hu, Lara Lavrencic, Runze Mao, Xiangli Yi

Polyfluoroarenes are an important class of compounds in medical and material chemistry. The synthesis of alkylated polyfluoroarenes remains challenging. Here we describe a decarboxylative coupling reaction of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters of aliphatic carbox ...

Imaging Catalysis: Operando Investigation of the CO2 Hydrogenation Reaction Dynamics by Means of Infrared Thermography

Andreas Züttel, Emad Oveisi, Emanuele Moioli, Kun Zhao, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler

Infrared thermography is a powerful tool to investigate the dynamic evolution of temperature in chemical reactions. The CO2 hydrogenation reaction is an ideal model reaction to assess the presented technique due to its high exothermicity. Various dynamic e ...

Sensitivity Enhancements in Lithium Titanates by Incipient Wetness Impregnation DNP NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Pierrick Berruyer, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Snaedis Björgvinsdóttir

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a widely used method for investigating structural and electronic properties of inorganic materials, but its use is often limited by low sensitivity. Here, we show how solvent-generated dynamic nuclear polarization can be use ...
