  • Alkene hydrofluoroalkylation offers a promising route to diverse fluoroalkylated compounds but current methods have limitations, such as needing expensive fluoroalkylating reagents. Now, leveraging iron photocatalysis and hydrogen-atom-transfer catalysis, a hydrofluoroalkylation method has been developed that utilizes feedstock chemicals such as trifluoroacetic acid as direct fluoroalkyl radical precursors, providing a redox-neutral, general protocol to introduce fluoroalkyl moieties.

  • Methods for the anti-Markovnikov-selective hydrochlorination of unsaturated C–C bonds are limited by the need for stoichiometric reagents, highly oxidizing photocatalysts and multiple synthetic steps. Now the combination of ligand-to-metal charge transfer and hydrogen atom transfer reactivity enables the anti-Markovnikov-selective hydro- and deuterochlorination of unsaturated hydrocarbons using iron photocatalysis.

  • Creating large-area horizontally aligned arrays of purely semiconducting tubes is one of the most daunting technical challenges in carbon nanotube electronics. Here, the authors introduce an approach using microwave radiation with microstrip antenna structures and demonstrate its effectiveness.
