Synthesis of Azo-Substituted Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) via Base-Promoted Halogen Atom Transfer.

Because of the three-dimensional bioisosteric feature, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamines (BCPAs) are valuable scaffolds in synthetic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

Efficient Catalytic Degradation of Phenol with Phthalocyanine-Immobilized Reduced Graphene-Bacterial Cellulose Nanocomposite.

In this report, phthalocyanine (Pc)/reduced graphene (rG)/bacterial cellulose (BC) ternary nanocomposite, Pc-rGBC, was developed through the immobilization of Pc onto a reduced graphene-bacterial cellulose (rGBC) nanohybrid after the reduction of biosynthesized graphene oxide-bacterial cellulose (GOBC) with NH. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were employed to monitor all of the functionalization processes. The Pc-rGBC nanocomposite was applied for the treatment of phenol wastewater.
