On‐Surface Friedel–Crafts Alkylation Through a Stabilized Intermediate Complex
On‐surface Friedel–Crafts alkylation is demonstrated on Ag(111) at the single‐molecule level. STM, XPS, and DFT calculations uncover the reaction mechanism and explain the stabilization of the key intermediate, providing insight into noble‐metal‐surface‐mediated Csp3${\rm C}_{sp^{3}}$─Csp2${\rm C}_{sp^{2}}$ coupling. ABSTRACT The incorporation of sp3${\

Abstract The electro-polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) in aqueous media has been investigated by current–time transient measurements and atomic force microscopy. Deposition involved an initial step, in which the whole electrode was essentially covered with an increasing number of nuclei ...

A highly electron‑accepting derivative of cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyl (CBBC‐TIC) is reported. CBBC‐TIC functions as an electron‐transport layer for perovskite solar cells, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 20.6%. Furthermore, the enantiomers of CBBC‐TIC exhibited spin‐selective electron transport with high enantiospecific magnetic conductance ...
