Surface polymerization was conducted by utilizing a two-dimensional (2D) self-assembled monolayer array of tetrabrominated crown ether precursors on Cu(111) through an intermediate Ullmann reaction, resulting in the formation of a 2D random network with winding stripes.
The Ullmann reaction on the surface of Au nanoparticles has been investigated, which opens up prospects in the synthesis of new hybrid materials, molecular self-assembly and in nanotechnology.
This review traces the evolution of Cu-catalyzed Ullmann mechanisms, highlighting the SET mechanism with extensive synthetic examples and mechanistic insights.
A novel semi-automated, high-throughput computational workflow for ligand/catalyst discovery based on the Cambridge Structural Database is reported.
Synthesis, characterization, and application of functionalized silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles with Cu(I)-thiosemicarbazone complex for Ullmann-type N-arylation of nucleobases, xanthines, and other N-heterocycles with aryl halide are described.
