Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores

The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...

Silylium-Catalyzed Activation of DonorAcceptor Strained Rings and Annulation with Indoles

Jérôme Waser, Emma Gabrielle Louise Robert

: Leveraging the unique reactivity profile of donor -acceptor aminocyclopropanes and cyclobutanes allows the preparation of complex nitrogen -substituted molecules. While most reports focus on donor -acceptor strained rings with two geminal carbonyl groups ...

Metal-Free Molecular Catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Electron Affinity as an Activity Descriptor

Juliette Veronique Schleicher, Ganna Gryn'ova

Heteroatom-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons (or nanographenes) are promising molecular electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we use density functional theory to investigate the first step of the ORR pathway (chemisorption) for a se ...

(4+3) Annulation of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes and Azadienes: Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Azepanones

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai

Azepanes are important seven-membered heterocycles, which are present in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. However, the development of convergent synthetic methods to access them remains challenging. Herein, we report the Lewis acid catalyzed (4+3) ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Pictet–Spengler Reaction of α‐Ketoamides Catalyzed by a Single H‐Bond Donor Organocatalyst

Jieping Zhu, Qiang Wang, Rémi Julien Sylvain Andres

The asymmetric Pictet–Spengler reaction (PSR) with aldehydes is well known. However, PSR involving ketones as electrophilic partners is far-less developed. We report herein the first examples of catalytic enantioselective PSR of tryptamines with α-ketoamid ...
