Derivatisation of polystyrene by carbene insertions followed by diazonium coupling permits the introduction of diverse chemical functionality, providing access to materials with similar bulk properties, but in which surface chemical characteristics are systematically varied across a range of surface polarity, hydration and non-bonding interaction behaviour. Protein binding experiments with bovine serum albumin demonstrate that protein adhesion is dependent upon the identity of the surface chemical group, with tert-butyl, hexyl, dimethylamino, amino, and carboxyl modified systems all exhibiting higher levels of binding, while glycol, hydroxyl, and phosphonate give similar or lower levels of binding, relative to the control. This behaviour has been shown to be time dependent, and an approximate trend of protein binding with cheminformatic descriptors %PSA and contact angle was observed.

The first metal-free procedure for the synthesis of arylsulfonyl fluorides is reported. Under organo-photoredox conditions, aryl diazonium salts react with a readily available SO2 source (DABSO) to afford the desired product through simple nucleophilic fluorination. The reaction tolerates the presence of both electron-rich and -poor aryls and demonstrated a broad functional group tolerance. To shed the light on the reaction mechanism, several experimental techniques were combined, including fluorescence, NMR, and EPR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations.

Selective C (Formula presented.) –C (Formula presented.) couplings are powerful strategies for the rapid and programmable construction of bi- or multiaryls. To this end, the next frontier of synthetic modularity will likely arise from harnessing the coupling space that is orthogonal to the powerful Pd-catalyzed coupling regime. This report details the realization of this concept and presents the fully selective arylation of aryl germanes (which are inert under Pd0/PdII catalysis) in the presence of the valuable functionalities C?BPin, C?SiMe3, C?I, C?Br, C?Cl, which in turn offer versatile opportunities for diversification. The protocol makes use of visible light activation combined with gold catalysis, which facilitates the selective coupling of C?Ge with aryl diazonium salts. Contrary to previous light-/gold-catalyzed couplings of Ar–N2+, which were specialized in Ar–N2+ scope, we present conditions to efficiently couple electron-rich, electron-poor, heterocyclic and sterically hindered aryl diazonium salts. Our computational data suggest that while electron-poor Ar–N2+ salts are readily activated by gold under blue-light irradiation, there is a competing dissociative deactivation pathway for excited electron-rich Ar–N2+, which requires an alternative photo-redox approach to enable productive couplings.
Photoactivated cell-killing involving a low molecular weight, donor-acceptor diphenylacetylene
Chisholm, David R.,Lamb, Rebecca,Pallett, Tommy,Affleck, Valerie,Holden, Claire,Marrison, Joanne,O'Toole, Peter,Ashton, Peter D.,Newling, Katherine,Steffen, Andreas,Nelson, Amanda K.,Mahler, Christoph,Valentine, Roy,Blacker, Thomas S.,Bain, Angus J.,Girkin, John,Marder, Todd B.,Whiting, Andrew,Ambler, Carrie A.

Photoactivation of photosensitisers can be utilised to elicit the production of ROS, for potential therapeutic applications, including the destruction of diseased tissues and tumours. A novel class of photosensitiser, exemplified by DC324, has been designed possessing a modular, low molecular weight and 'drug-like' structure which is bioavailable and can be photoactivated by UV-A/405 nm or corresponding two-photon absorption of near-IR (800 nm) light, resulting in powerful cytotoxic activity, ostensibly through the production of ROS in a cellular environment. A variety of in vitro cellular assays confirmed ROS formation and in vivo cytotoxic activity was exemplified via irradiation and subsequent targeted destruction of specific areas of a zebrafish embryo.
