The functionalization of hydrocarbons in a sustainable manner is one of the main challenges for chemists. Their abundance in nature as natural gas or crude oil makes them the most convenient chemical ...
Rovira Coll, Mireia (Date of defense: 2017-03-10)
Organometallic aryl-CuIII species have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann-type reactions. However, such species have long remained elusive and mechanistic investigations of a plausible catalytic ...
Font Molins, Marc (Date of defense: 2015-02-13)
Aryl-Cu(III) species have been often implicated as the intermediate species that operate Ullmann-type couplings. However, such species have long remained elusive and the fundamental pathways that govern ...
