From photoexcited Ga(III) to Ga(I).
Unexpectedly, Ga(I) reacts via photoinduced disproportionation, enabling the first oxidative addition of aryl iodides at a Group 13 center.
Our latest work is now out in @J_A_C_S!
Huge credit to Nijito and Sota!

[Supramolecular Chemistry Group from SCF @supraSCF]

The French community of supramolecular chemists is very saddened by the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, whose legacy is extraordinary. He's pictured here at the Supr@Lyon conference in 2018, an event that led to the creation of the Supr@SCF group. Our condolences to the Familly.

[Mark Gandelman @MarkGandelman]

We developed a novel reaction that enables a direct synthesis of amines from olefins via C=C bond cleavage. This process which we termed Triazenolysis represents an aza-version of ozonolysis reaction.
Congrats to all involved
