About this collection
Welcome to Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers themed collection on Electrocatalytic C-N Coupling.
With the development of renewable energy, green electrosynthesis has ushered in new opportunities. Electrosynthesis of C-N coupled organonitrogen using carbonyl compounds and inorganic nitrogen substances not only provides a sustainable and efficient method to produce valuable chemicals but also contributes to the exploration of life’s origins and the reduction of environmental pollution.
Guest edited by Graham J. Hutchings (Cardiff University), Shuangyin Wang (Hunan University), Guangqin Li (Sun Yat-sen University) and Ouardia Akdim (Cardiff University), this themed collection focuses on gathering innovative insights and technologies to advance electrocatalytic C-N coupling, with the goal of developing a carbon-neutral strategy for environmentally benign synthesis of high-value organonitrogen compounds.
