UW Chemists Break Electron Transfer Selectivity Barrier
Chemists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new strategy for electron transfer that bypasses traditional selectivity limitations. By ejecting electrons directly into a solvent, the method allows for more complex chemical coupling reactions.
Chemists use complex compounds to create life-saving medicines, build advanced high-tech materials, and mimic natural biological systems. To make more complex compounds, synthetic chemists have relied on single-electron transfer as one of the most powerful strategies to activate and couple otherwise unreactive molecules together.
