The carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are of central importance in organic synthesis and routinely practiced across the world in both research laboratories and industrial processes. Since its initial discovery in 2004, graphene, a two dimensional nanomaterial bearing a single layer of sp2-hybridized carbon sheet with hexagonal packed lattice structure, has received significant attention worldwide. Owing to its exceptional p Read More

The control of molecular organization in donor-acceptor polymers over various length scales is essential for the charge carrier migration in organic field-effect transistors. Comprehensive understanding of the relation between chemical structure of the polymer, molecular packing, self-assembly, microstructure and charge carrier transport after solution processing, has been carried out thoroughly. The impact of the molecular stru Read More

The widespread use of toxic and volatile organic solvents poses a serious threat to the environment and in consequence to people. Hence, a lot of alternative processes as well as more efficient recycling protocols have been developed to avoid the used organic solvents in the last decades. Unfortunately, also these alternative processes and recycling protocols also limitations. Therefore, the authors review different environ Read More

Regioisomerically pure 5(6)-substituted rhodamine is an outstanding molecular platform for functional probes and a very useful material for fluorescent labels. However, 5(6)-substituted rhodamine is difficult to be synthesized by general methods, which limits the application of the dye. This review highlights the progress regarding the methods for the synthesis and separation of regioisomerically pure 5(6)-substituted rh Read More

Huisgen cycloaddition reaction has been originally utilized for the synthesis of 1, 2, 3-triazoles regioisomers. In this review, its stereochemistry and also mechanistical features of Huisgen cycloaddition reaction based on the quantum chemistry are highlighted. Thermal and copper catalyzed approaches to the synthesis of 1,2,3- triazoles will also be re-visited. Finally, the synthesis of alternative region-isomer, 1,5-disubstituted- Read More

Alkyl disulfamic acid-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (ADSA-MNPs) have been synthesized as a hybrid organic- inorganic acidic nanoparticles and its catalytic activity has been evaluated in the synthesis of mono-, bis- and tris 1,2-dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine via a one-pot three, pseudo-five or pseudo-seven component condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and 2-aminobezi Read More
