Our cyclopropenimine–thiourea catalyst keeps finding new ways to control selectivity :) This time, chirality matching enables sequence control in alternating PLGA. A wonderful collaboration with Profs. Byeong-Su Kim (Yonsei) & Yoonsu Park (KAIST), now out in @ACSCatalysis! Congrats to the team! pubs.acs.org/accacs/article/…

To redox or not to redox? That is the question🧐 Work led by @irenessordo and @Sfg_109 on zwitterionic stibinidenes shows how catalyst speciation diverts the mechanism and unlocks diverse C–F bond functionalizations - now in @angew_chem Check it out! ⬇️ doi.org/10.1002/anie.6579940

Speciation‐Controlled C–F Bond Functionalization Enabled by Zwitterionic Pnictinidenes

Zwitterionic pnictinidenes turn C–F activation into C–X bond construction, enabling broad defluorinative functionalization of polyfluoro(hetero)arenes under mild conditions. Rather than following a...
