Arylazopyrazoles: Azoheteroarene Photoswitches Offering Quantitative Isomerization and Long Thermal Half-Lives

TL;DR: The conformation of the Z isomers of these compounds, and also the arylazopyrroles, is highly dependent on the substitution pattern on the heteroarene, allowing a twisted or planar geometry, which in turn has a significant impact on the electronic spectral properties of the compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonmetal Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Carbonyl Compounds

TL;DR: Solutions of the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 in 1,4-dioxane are found to effectively catalyze the hydrogenation of a variety of ketones and aldehydes through a "frustrated Lewis pair" mechanism in which the solvent plays a pivotal role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning azoheteroarene photoswitch performance through heteroaryl design

TL;DR: A systematic computational and experimental study is presented to elucidate the origin of the long thermal half-lives and excellent addressability of the arylazopyrazoles, and apply this understanding to determine important structure-property relationships for a wide array of comparable azoheteroaryl photoswitches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Designing effective ‘frustrated Lewis pair’ hydrogenation catalysts

TL;DR: This tutorial review aims to provide a focused guide to the development of efficient FLP hydrogenation catalysts, through identification and consideration of the key factors that govern their effectiveness.
