Postsynthetic Zn(II)Species Modification Regulatesthe Surface States of TiO2 Nanoparticles for Resonance-AssistedSERS

Abstract Engineering interfacial electronic states at the nanoscale is a powerful yet underdeveloped strategy for improving the selectivity of semiconductor-based molecular sensing. Here, we report a simple postsynthetic surface-associated Zn(II) species modification approach to...

Substrate-PairedElectron Donor–Acceptor ComplexesEnable Photochemical Alkyl–Alkyl Cross-Coupling

Abstract Selective C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling of two distinct alkyl radicals is difficult because homocoupling and radical decomposition compete with heterocoupling. We report a catalyst-free, redox-neutral photochemical coupling of alkylpyridinium salts with alkylboron reagent...
