Electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbene can behave as an organocatalyst in the Staudinger reaction (from imine and acyl chloride) in a very polar solvent, such as an ionic liquid.

The electrogenerated upconversion was achieved in the uniformly doped organic nanowires based on triplet energy transfer from tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) to 9,10-diphenylanthracene.

A novel method to readily determine the lipophilicity of electrogenerated charged species is reported. This is achieved by local electrolysis at a Pt coated micropipette and, subsequently, driving the electrogenerated species to transfer across the liquid–liquid interface supported at the tip of the micropipette under potential control. The formal potential of ion transfer can then be used to g...

An electrogenerated heterogeneous chiral (poly)salen-thiophene chromium complex successfully promoted different asymmetric catalytic reactions in an original successive manner, demonstrating its high stability and versatility.

The use of electrogenerated acetonitrile anion allows the alkylation of N-Boc-4-aminopyridine in very high yields, under mild conditions and without by-products. The high reactivity of this base is due to its large tetraethylammonium counterion, which leaves the acetonitrile anion "naked." The deprotection of the obtained compounds led to high yields in N-alkylated 4-aminopyridines. Nonsymmetri...

A stepwise catalytic oxidation for nitric oxide and nitrite by water-soluble iron(III) meso-tetrakis(N -methylpyridinium-4yl)porphyrin (Fe(4-TMPyP)) was first revealed by using an ITO electrode. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies characterized the formation of oxoiron(IV) porphyrin and oxoiron(IV) porphyrin p-cation radical in the oxidation of Fe(4TMPyP). O@Fe(4-TMPyP) showed se...

The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) that results from the oxidation of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II), at a gold electrode in the presence of oxalate, was used to investigate the interaction of the Ru(II) chelate with calf thymus DNA. The decrease in ECL emission from the excited state, Ru(phen)3(2+*), in the presence of DNA, is ascribed to binding to binding of the chelate to ...

Although the roster of coulometric titrations no\\' includes many reactions of classical titrimetry'. the lIse of cl,ectrogeneratecl +2 tin as a coulometric titrant has not previously been reported. We have found that in an acidic bromide medium +4 tin (probably SrlBr6-2) is reduced to the' +2 state (probably SnBr4-2) with 100% current efficiency' at a gold cathode. The formal potential of the ...

The first structurally characterized examples of the 1,2,3-triazole motif employed in a terdentate ligand display enhanced steric freedom and a facile receptivity towards a reversible aquation in the case of an electrogenerated Fe(III) state.
