Optoelectronic Materials: Facile Method Enables Exploration of New Organic-Soluble Graphene

Technology Description: An exciting method has been discovered that enables facile synthesis of novel azaborine (i.e., nitrogen and boron containing) compounds. These new compounds include polycyclic aromatic molecules (e.g., graphene-like novel compounds) wherein a number of benzene rings have been replaced by six-membered rings in which a boron-...

Decomposition of Organophosphorus Compounds

Dr. Stan Brown and Dr. Alex Neverov of the Department of Chemistry at Queen’s University (Kingston, Canada) have developed a novel decontaminant for toxic chemical warfare agents, insecticides and pesticides. The decontamination reaction is fast, catalytic, occurs at room temperature, and produces non-toxic products. It is broadly suitable...

Solid-supported Palladacycle Catalysts

Professor Stan Brown and his research group at Queen’s University have developed a novel approach to make solid-supported palladacycle catalysts. Instead of binding premade palladacycle molecules onto silica or polymer materials, a palladacycle is formed in-situ on the functionalized backbone of commercially available polymers or silicas throu...

Single-Step Schwartz Reduction

Schwartz reduction enables many vital transformations in synthetic organic chemistry including its large-scale application in manufacturing of paclitaxel (taxolTM), a generic anticancer drug to treat patients with lung, ovarian, and breast cancer. Although the Schwartz reagent is commercially available, it is expensive and problematic for ...
