Desymmetrization of diols is a powerful tool to the synthesis of chiral building blocks. Among the different approaches to perform discrimination between both enantiotopic hydroxyl groups, the organocatalytic approach ha...
The efficient electron injection by direct dye-to-TiO2 charge transfer and strong adhesion of mussel-inspired synthetic polydopamine (PDA) dyes with TiO2 electrode is demonstrated. Spontaneous self-polymerization of dopa...
A "frozen" electron donor-acceptor array that bears porphyrin and fullerene units covalently linked through the ortho position of a phenyl ring and the nitrogen of a pyrrolidine ring, respectively, is reported. Electroch...
