Visible light photoredox catalysis was combined with immersion particle lithography to prepare polynitrophenylene organic films on Au(111) surfaces, forming a periodic arrangement of nanopores. Surfaces masked with mesospheres were immersed in solutions of p-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and irradiated with blue LEDs in the presence of the photoredox catalyst Ru(bpy)3(PF6)2 to produce p-nitrophenyl radicals that graft onto gold substrates. Surface masks of silica mesospheres were used to protect small, discrete regions of the Au(111) surface from grafting. Nanopores were formed where the silica mesospheres touched the surface; the mask effectively protected nanoscopic local areas from the photocatalysis grafting reaction. Further reaction of the grafted arenes with aryl radicals resulted in polymerization to form polynitrophenylene structures with thicknesses that were dependent on both the initial concentration of diazonium salt and the duration of irradiation. Photoredox catalysis with visible light provides mild, user-friendly conditions for the reproducible generation of multilayers with thicknesses ranging from 2 to 100 nm. Images acquired with atomic force microscopy (AFM) disclose the film morphology and periodicity of the polymer nanostructures. The exposed sites of the nanopores provide a baseline to enable local measurements of film thickness with AFM. The resulting films of polynitrophenylene punctuated with nanopores provide a robust foundation for further chemical steps. Spatially selective binding of mercaptoundecanoic acid to exposed sites of Au(111) was demonstrated, producing a periodic arrangement of thiol-based nanopatterns within a matrix of polynitrophenylene.

Chirality-selective functionalization of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been a difficult synthetic goal for more than a decade. Here we describe an on-demand covalent chemistry to address this intriguing challenge. Our approach
Evidence for covalent bonding of aryl groups to MnO2 nanorods from diazonium-based grafting

, p. 13687 - 13690 (2014)
We show here that the surface of MnO2 nanorods can be modified with aryl groups by grafting from aqueous and non-aqueous solutions of aryldiazonium salts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy provides direct evidence for covalent bonding of aryl groups to MnO2 through surface oxygens.

We report a modular approach toward novel arylazotriazole photoswitches and their photophysical characterization. Addition of lithiated TIPS-acetylene to aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate salts gives a wide range of azoacetylenes, constituting an underexplored class of stable intermediates.In situdesilylation transiently leads to terminal arylazoacetylenes that undergo copper-catalyzed cycloadditions (CuAAC) with a diverse collection of organoazides. These include complex molecules derived from natural products or drugs, such as colchicine, taxol, tamiflu, and arachidonic acid. The arylazotriazoles display near-quantitative photoisomerization and long thermalZ-half-lives. Using the method, we introduce for the first time the design and synthesis of a diacetylene platform. It permits implementation of consecutive and diversity-oriented approaches linking two different conjugants to independently addressable acetylenes within a common photoswitchable azotriazole. This is showcased in the synthesis of several photoswitchable conjugates, with potential applications as photoPROTACs and biotin conjugates.
Aqueous and Visible-Light-Promoted C-H (Hetero)arylation of Uracil Derivatives with Diazoniums
Liu, An-Di,Wang, Zhao-Li,Liu, Li,Cheng, Liang
, p. 16434 - 16447 (2021/11/16)
Direct C5 (hetero)arylation of uracil and uridine substrates with (hetero)aryl diazonium salts under photoredox catalysis with blue light was reported. The coupling proceeds efficiently with diazonium salts and heterocycles in good functional group tolerance at room temperature in aqueous solution without transition-metal components. A plausible radical mechanism has been proposed.

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.
Base-Free Cross-Couplings of Aryl Diazonium Salts in Methanol: PdII–Alkoxy as Reactivity-Controlling Intermediate

Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl diazonium salts are generally assumed to proceed via cationic PdII intermediates which in turn would be highly reactive in the subsequent transmetalation step. Contrary to this belief, we herein report our observation and rationalization of opposing reactivities of ArN2+ in Suzuki (=effective) and Stille (=ineffective) cross-couplings in MeOH. Our systematic experimental and computational studies on the roles of transmetalating agent, solvent, base and the likely involvement of in situ formed diazoether derivatives challenge the currently accepted mechanism. Our data suggest that the observed solvent dichotomy is primarily due to PdII-methoxy intermediates being formed, which are unreactive with arylstannanes, but highly reactive with arylboronic acids, complementing the Suzuki “Pd-oxy” mechanism with the direct demonstration of transmetalation of a PdII-alkoxy complex. Lewis acids were found to circumvent this reactivity divergence, promoting efficient couplings regardless of the employed conditions or coupling partners.
Alternative method for the synthesis of triazenes from aryl diazonium salts

An alternative mild method for access to 1-aryl-3,3-dimethyl alkyl triazenes is described. This protocol employs the dropwise addition of a methanolic solution of a carboxylate (RCO2M) or carbonate (CO32?) to a gently heated DMF solution containing an aryl diazonium salt (ArN2+), that had been previously isolated. Presumably homolysis of the weak N–O bond of diazo ether adducts formed in this operation initiates radical pathways that lead to the generation of triazene product. DMF serves as not only a one-electron donor to the diazonium salts employed in this process, but also as a source of dimethylamine radicals that act as a nucleophilic coupling partner. The reaction provides modest yields (ca. 20–40%) across an array of aryl diazonium salts that contain various substitution. Furthermore this unique approach to triazenes contrasts with traditional methods that employ dimethyl amine in reagent form which directly couples with diazonium salts. Seemingly, only one other example employing somewhat similar reaction conditions to this current investigation en route to triazenes has been reported, albeit with lower yields and for one representative example furnished as a side-product. The current work here improves upon the efficiency of this reported result, and further expands the reaction scope.

σ-Bond nucleophiles and molecular oxygen transform aryl diazonium salts into aryl radicals. Experimental and computational studies show that Hantzsch esters transfer hydride to aryl diazonium species, and that oxygen initiates radical fragmentation of the diazene intermediate to produce aryl radicals. The operational simplicity of this addition-fragmentation process for the generation of aryl radicals, by a polar-radical crossover mechanism, has been illustrated in a variety of bond-forming reactions.

Although hydrosulfonylation of alkynes is an ideal process to generate β-keto sulfones, such an approach is rarely implemented. Here we reported a facile and efficient graphitic carbon nitride (p-g-C3N4) photocatalyzed hydrosulfonylation of alkynes with the insertion of sulfur dioxide in aerobic conditions. Controlled experiments and ESR results indicated both the superoxide radicals and valence band holes played an important role in the reaction. Further isotope experiments confirmed the oxygen atom of the products comes from H2O, while the O2 plays an important role in the reaction by quenching the DABCO radical cation. The metal-free heterogeneous semiconductor is fully recyclable at least 6 times without significant reducing activity. Furthermore, this reaction could be carried out under solar light irradiation and was applicable for a large-scale reaction with conserved results.
