A novel, environmentally-friendly method has been developed to prepare α,α-gem-dihalide (F, Cl, and Br) ketones from α-mono-halide ketones in an aqueous solution containing an alkali halide salt using an electrocatalytic...

This study developed a novel photocatalytic method to synthesize pyranones from furfural alcohols. By using a 0.2 mol-% equivalent of tris-Ir(ppy)3 as photocatalyst under visible light and O2 as the...

Natural products originated carbon dots promising a charming and valuable platform for bio-fluorescence probes, however, application scope of these probes was seriously restricted, due to the indistinct molecular structures of...
