Given the limited product variety of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions solely from CO2 and H2O as the reactants, it is desirable to expand the product scope by introducing additional reactants that provide elemental diversity. The integration of inorganic heteroatom-containing reactants … Read more

The development of benign methylation reactions utilizing CO2 as a one-carbon building block would enable a more sustainable chemical industry. Electrochemical CO2 reduction has been extensively studied, but its application for reductive methylation reactions remains out of the scope of … Read more

  The mechanism of a visible light-driven dehalogenation/cyclization reaction was investigated using ruthenium(II), iridium(III) and iron(III) photosensitizers by means of steady-state photoluminescence, time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, and nanosecond/femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The nature of the photosensitizer was found to influence the … Read more
