Photocatalysis, C-H activation, f-block chemistry; there's something for everyone in our newest article in collaboration with the Arnold Group!
See how we made uranyl oxo photocatalysis site-selective in JACS: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c01402
The uranyl dication ([UO2]2+) is a highly active photocatalyst for the functionalization of inert Csp3–H bonds by direct hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA). However, photocatalysis by the uranyl ion rema...
