Reported herein is a new HPLC-based automated synthesizer (HPLC-A) capable of a temperature-controlled synthesis and purification of carbohydrates. The developed platform allows to perform various protecting group manipulations as well as the synthesis of O- and N-glycosides. A fully automated synthesis and purification was showcased in application...

Photoacids and bases allow remote control over pH in reaction solutions, which is of fundamental importance to an array of applications. Herein, we evaluate the wavelength-by-wavelength photoreactivity of triarylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate salts as a representative photoacid and p-(benzoyl)benzyl triethylammonium tetraphenylborate as a photobase,...

Organocatalysis opens up for a novel cascade reaction concept where 3-oxidopyridinium betaines first undergo an enantioselective [6+4] cycloaddition with trienamines, followed by a spontaneously series of reactions to provide chiral hexahydraoazulenes, of which some show bioactivity. Abstract A novel cascade reaction initiated by an enantioselective...

Ligand-to-metal charge transfer potential for photodegradation of organic dyes in new perfluorinated Ce-MOFs. Abstract Cerium-based Metal-Organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) are attracting increasing interest due to their similar structural features to zirconium MOFs. The redox behavior of Ce(III/IV) adds a range of properties to the compounds. Recently,...

Herein, we present a molten-salt approach to synthesize Co1-xZnxFe2xGa2–2xO4 (0<x≤0.6) solid solutions. Expand the light-harvesting wavelength range. Additionally, we found that with the introduction of ZnFe2O4, the photogenerated electrons transition from CoO4 tetrahedron to FeO6 octahedron, and the FeO6 octahedron becomes the photocatalytic reduction...

Indenoannulated tridecacyclene, an unprecedented saddle-shaped non-benzenoid nanocarbon, has been synthesized. Under electrochemical conditions, the compound undergoes seven reversible redox events facilitated by the aromatic stabilization provided by the non-benzenoid subunits in the charged states. Chemical oxidation and reduction afforded the corresponding...
