High Yielding Continuous-Flow Synthesis of Norketamine (2022)
Journal Article
Hernando, M. V., Moore, J. C., Howie, R. A., Castledine, R. A., Bourne, S. L., Jenkins, G. N., Licence, P., Poliakoff, M., & George, M. W. (2022). High Yielding Continuous-Flow Synthesis of Norketamine. Organic Process Research and Development, 26(4), 1145-1151. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.oprd.1c00407

A new continuous-flow process is presented for synthesis of the pharmaceutical intermediate norketamine (5). Our approach has been to take the well-established and industrially applied batch synthetic route to this promising antidepressant precursor...

Selective photoinduced charge separation in perylenediimide-pillar[5]arene rotaxanes (2022)
Journal Article
Pearce, N., Reynolds, K. E. A., Kayal, S., Sun, X. Z., Davies, E. S., Malagreca, F., Schürmann, C. J., Ito, S., Yamano, A., Argent, S. P., George, M. W., & Champness, N. R. (2022). Selective photoinduced charge separation in perylenediimide-pillar[5]arene rotaxanes. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 415. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28022-3

The ability to control photoinduced charge transfer within molecules represents a major challenge requiring precise control of the relative positioning and orientation of donor and acceptor groups. Here we show that such photoinduced charge transfer... Read More about Selective photoinduced charge separation in perylenediimide-pillar[5]arene rotaxanes.
