Selectivity

  1. Light-induced CO2 binding and reduction in a cerium MOF
    Cerium metal-organic framework with amino linkers achieves 100% selective photoreduction of CO2 to CO at 126 μmol·g-1·h-1 via transient Ce(III) sites and reversible binding.
  2. Odd isotope selectivity achieved in calcium resonance ionization
    Selective resonance ionization technique using angular momentum selection rules and polarized light enables isolation of rare calcium isotopes Ca-43 and Ca-41 while suppressing abundant Ca-40.
  3. Photoredox method enables deoxytrifluoromethoxylation of phenols
    Photoredox-catalyzed deoxytrifluoromethoxylation installs OCF3 groups on phenols via in situ difluorophosgene generation and aryl carbonofluoridate activation.
