Isolation, Characterisation and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Diazoolefins

Examples for applications of nitrous oxide in organic synthesis remain rare up until today. First mayor contributions of our group were published in 2012, when nitrous oxide was successfully captured by N-heterocyclic carbenes. Subsequent studies investiga ...

Learning the Exciton Properties of Azo-dyes

Ksenia Briling, Alberto Fabrizio, Sergio Vela Llausi

The ab initio determination of electronic excited state (ES) properties is the cornerstone of theoretical photochemistry. Yet, traditional ES methods become impractical when applied to fairly large molecules, or when used on thousands of systems. Machine l ...

Photocatalysis with organic dyes: facile access to reactive intermediates for synthesis

Jérôme Waser, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos, Luca Buzzetti

Organic dyes have emerged as a reliable class of photoredox catalysts. Their great structural variety combined with the easy finetuning of their electronic properties has unlocked new possibilities for the generation of reactive intermediates. In this revi ...

The Photoisomerization Pathway(s) of Push‐Pull Phenylazoheteroarenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi

Azoheteroarenes are the most recent derivatives targeted to further improve the properties of azo‐based photoswitches. Their light‐induced mechanism for trans‐cis isomerization is assumed to be very similar to that of the parent azobenzene. As such, they i ...

Oxidative Fluorination of Cyclopropylamides through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform cyclopropylamides and cyclobutylamides into fluorinated imines. The imines can be isolated in their more stable hemiaminal form, with the fluorine atom installed selectively at the gamma or delta po ...

Dyes, Radicals and Nitrous Oxide Adducts Derived from N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are able to form covalent adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under ambient conditions. This thesis summarizes the studies of these adducts and their reactivity. A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with nit ...

Novel Blue Organic Dye for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Achieving High Efficiency in Cobalt-Based Electrolytes and by Co-Sensitization

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Jiahuan Zhang, Kazuteru Nonomura, Yan Hao, Yasemin Saygili, Anna Eriksson, Enrico Polanski

Blue and green dyes as well as NIR-absorbing dyes have attracted great interest because of their excellent ability of absorbing the incident photons in the red and near-infrared range region. A novel blue D-pi-A dye (Dyenamo Blue), based on the diketopyrro ...

Ligand Engineering for the Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Ruthenium Sensitizers and Cobalt Electrolytes

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Peng Gao, Filippo de Angelis, Thomas Moehl, Joël Teuscher, Aswani Yella, Sadig Aghazada, Gabriele Marotta

Over the past 20 years, ruthenium(II)-based dyes have played a pivotal role in turning dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) into a mature technology for the third generation of photovoltaics. However, the classic I3−/I− redox couple limits the performance and ...

Synthetic chemistry with nitrous oxide

Kay Severin

This review article summarizes efforts to use nitrous oxide (N2O, ‘laughing gas’) as a reagent in synthetic chemistry. The focus will be on reactions which are carried out in homogeneous solution under (relatively) mild conditions. First, the utilization o ...
