Precisely Controlled Electrochemical Phosphonylation: Tailoring π‐Conjugated Polymer Properties for High‐Performance Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The electrochemical C–H phosphonylation enabled precise control over the degree of functionalization (DOF). Systematic tuning of DOF (0.06–0.16) led to improved µC*, transconductance, and time constant values. This finding demonstrates that moderate functionalization enhances organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) performance, opening new avenues ...

Tandem Reactivity of Metal−Carbon and Carbon−Silicon Bonds in Mononuclear α‐Silyl Organolithium or Organosodium Complexes Towards CO, CO2 and Heteroallenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Anionic α‐silyl alkyl is one of the most used organometallic building blocks and funtional groups. Traditionally, the C─Si bond in these complexes is considered as inert. In this work, we report a series of reactions between mononuclear organo‐lithium and ‐sodium complexes with CO, CO2, or heteroallenes.
