New transformations enabled by iron catalysis and their applications for electronic materials Rui Shang
The catalytic synthesis of organic molecules of interest in developing electronic materials so far mostly relies on using precious metals such as palladium and rhodium as catalysts. The cost and scarcity of these precious metals cause impending problems in the mass production of materials. In contrast, iron as the most abundant metal on the earth has the merits for use as a catalyst for syntheses of conjugated organic molecules because of its intrinsic redox and organometallic reactivity. The low cost, low toxicity, abundance, and ubiquity of iron ideally conform to the spirit of sustainable development goals. In this talk, our one-decade journey of exploring iron catalysis is briefly presented and new types of recently achieved iron-catalyzed transformations for developing organic electronic materials, as well as the device functions, will be introduced.
