[Science] Electronic buffer effect of fullerenes: modified copper-based catalyst breaks through the "stuck point" of ethylene glycol synthesis at ambient pressure

Electronic buffer effect of fullerenes: modified copper-based catalyst breaks through the "stuck point" of ethylene glycol synthesis at ambient pressureProf. Su-Yuan Xie and Prof. Youzhu Yuan from our college, together with Prof. Yuan-Gen Yao and Prof. Guo-Cong Guo of Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of...

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reactions of Compounds with Craig-Möbius Aromaticity

Hong Zhang, Haiping Xia and colleagues have successfully demonstrated Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions of Craig-Mobius aromaticity, osmapentalenes and fused osmapentalenes. The highly reactive nature of osmapentalene makes it susceptible to electrophilic attack by halogens, and thus osmapentalenes...
