Homogeneous catalysis and organic synthesis. News and updates on our research!!

Just out in JACS , we report mechanistic studies on the photoexcitation of biscyclometalated-Ru species and their role in photocatalyzed C-H alkylations with epoxides. Congratulations to Kurt and co-workers, and the Natrajan and Golovanov groups!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Bis-Cycloruthenated Complexes in Visible Light-Induced C–H Alkylation with Epoxides

Bis-cycloruthenated complexes (BCRCs) of the type [Ru(N^C)2L2] are proposed to be key reactive intermediates in the Ru(II)-catalyzed directed C–H functionalization of arenes. While the exceptional gro...
