Journal ArticleDOI
Mild, visible light-mediated decarboxylation of aryl carboxylic acids to access aryl radicals
TL;DR: The first example of aryl radical formation via the visible light-mediated decarboxylation of aRYl carboxylic acids using photoredox catalysis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the Binding Modes of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes on a Gold Surface
Anne Bakker,Alexander Timmer,Elena Kolodzeiski,Matthias Freitag,Hong-Ying Gao,Harry Mönig,Saeed Amirjalayer,Frank Glorius,Harald Fuchs +8 more
TL;DR: This study highlights how well-defined structural modifications of NHCs allow for controlling the local binding motif on surfaces, which is important to design designated catalytic sites at interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Versatile Micropatterns of N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes on Gold Surfaces: Increased Thermal and Pattern Stability with Enhanced Conductivity
D. Thao Nguyen,Matthias Freitag,Martin Körsgen,Sebastian Lamping,Andreas Rühling,Andreas Schäfer,Martin Herman Siekman,Heinrich F. Arlinghaus,Wilfred G. van der Wiel,Frank Glorius,Bart Jan Ravoo +10 more
TL;DR: The protocol enables facile access to versatile, microstructured NHC-modified gold surfaces with highly stable patterns, enhanced conductivity, and the option for further modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Dearomatization of Pyridines via an Energy-Transfer-Catalyzed Intramolecular [4+2] Cycloaddition
Jiajia Ma,Felix Strieth-Kalthoff,Toryn Dalton,Matthias Freitag,J. Luca Schwarz,Klaus Bergander,Constantin G. Daniliuc,Frank Glorius +7 more
TL;DR: A catalytic, dearomative cycloaddition reaction with pyridines using photoinduced energy transfer catalysis is introduced, thereby advancing dearomatization methodology and increasing the topology of pyridine dearOMatization products.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-Heterocyclic-Carbene-Treated Gold Surfaces in Pentacene Organic Field-Effect Transistors: Improved Stability and Contact at the Interface.
Aifeng Lv,Aifeng Lv,Aifeng Lv,Matthias Freitag,Kathryn M. Chepiga,Andreas Schäfer,Frank Glorius,Lifeng Chi,Lifeng Chi +8 more
TL;DR: N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which react with the surface of Au electrodes, have been successfully applied in pentacene transistors and make NHCs as excellent alternatives to thiols as metal modifiers for the application in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).
