A regiodivergent silacarboxylation of allenes under a CO2 atmosphere with PhMe2Si-B(pin) as silicon source in the presence copper catalyst at 70 °C has been developed. The regioselectivity reaction is successfully reversed by proper choice ligand; carboxylated vinylsilanes are obtained rac-Me-DuPhos ligand, whereas use PCy3 affords allylsilanes. Thus, two different silanes can be selectively and regiodivergently synthesized from single allene substrate.

A highly selective carbon-carbon bond-forming transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to alcohol oxidation level has been disclosed. By employing a copper/bisphosphine catalyst system and hydrosilanes as mild easy-to-handle reducing agents, various allenes can be reacted with CO2 regioselectively obtain homoallylic alcohols. Esters other reducible functionalities on the remain intact during reaction, whereas is reduced level.
The phenomenon of crystal melting by light irradiation, known as photo-induced crystal-to-liquid transition (PCLT), can dramatically change material properties with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, the diversity compounds exhibiting PCLT is severely limited, which hampers further functionalisation PCLT-active materials and fundamental understandings PCLT. Here, we report on heteroaromatic 1,2-diketones new class compounds, whose based conformational isomerisation. In particular, one...
Fast room-temperature phosphorescence with high quantum yields up to 38% in solution from metal-free organic 1,2-diketones is reported, along the mechanism and molecular design principles governing fast phosphorescence.
An organic 1,2-diketone with intramolecular chalcogen bonding overcomes the room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) quenching problem on amorphization, representing first RTP-to-RTP mechanochromism of a metal-free molecule.
Light-emitting molecules have been extensively studied due to their potential and wide variety of applications from optoelectronic devices biomedical applications. To fully understand rationalize the light-emitting process for innovation next-generation applications, it is vital reveal dynamic behavior excitons, where excited electronic states (locally excited, charge transfer, separated states), spin multiplicity, motion atomic nucleus are interacting each other. Here, we will show our...
Introducing heavy atoms, or replacing atoms with heavier ones, is a routine approach for accelerating spin-flipping photophysical processes. However, predicting its impact on phosphorescence efficiency not straightforward. Herein, we report an unexpected consequence of bromine-to-iodine substitution in bromothienyl diketone derivative, TIPS-BrTn, that exhibits outstanding room-temperature (RTP) cyclohexane solution. Contrary to our expectation, the iodo-congener TIPS-ITn exhibited feeble...
We report the synthesis and characterization of a π‐expanded neutral PAH radical, benzo[cd]perylenyl (1), derived from phenalenyl radical (2). Hückel molecular orbital (HMO) analysis reveals uniformly distributed SOMO that enables effective two‐electron 20‐center bonding in π‐dimer. ESR measurements 1 show long half‐life 63 days air‐saturated toluene at room temperature. Temperature‐dependent absorption spectra as well DFT calculations confirm preferential formation π‐dimer over σ‐dimer with...

The room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of metal-free organic crystals is normally quenched by mechanical stimulation. Herein, we demonstrate the opposite mechanoresponse turn-on RTP. A desymmetrization a C2-symmetric 1,2-diketone creates space for molecular motion in crystal, quenching RTP from crystal while maintaining that amorphous solid.
Metal-free, single-component, unsymmetrical 1,2-diketone exhibits liquefaction-induced room-temperature phosphorescence. Desymmetrisation provides the supercooled liquid with notable kinetic stability and phase-dependent phosphorescence properties.

Modulating the stimulus-responsiveness of a luminescent crystal is challenging owing to complex interdependent nature its controlling factors, such as molecular structure, conformation, packing, optical properties, and amorphization behavior. Herein, we demonstrate halogen-exchange approach that disentangles this problem, thereby realizing modulation room-temperature phosphorescence-to-phosphorescence mechanochromism. Replacing bromine atoms in brominated thienyl diketone with chlorine...

We investigated the electrochemical stability of a Pt/Pd(111) model core–shell structure for oxygen reduction reaction catalysts in 0.1 M HClO4 at 80°C by performing potential cycles (PCs) between 0.6 and x V vs. RHE (x = 0.8–1.0; xV-PCs). Pristine shows an ORR activity four times higher than that Pt(111), which considerably decreased after 5000 0.9- 1.0 V-PCs remained nearly unchanged 0.8- 0.85 samples. These results suggest atomic-scale structural changes Pt/Pd interface depend on PC...
