A rational functionalization of conjugated dicarboxylate is reported here to enhance the cyclability and rate capability for Li-ion batteries. Introduction of carbonyl groups between aromatic rings is explored as an alternative way to extend π-conjugation. For the proof of concept, 4,4′-bis(lithiooxycarbonyl)benzil (Li2-BZL) was synthesized and compared its lithium storage performance against lithium [1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-dicarboxylate (Li2-BPDC). The Li2-BZL electrode delivers a stable capacity of 165 mAh g?1 even after 50 cycles at current density of 50 mAh g?1 whereas, rapid capacity fading was observed in the case of Li2-BPDC. Density functional theory (DFT) studies confirmed that the carbonyl groups in the Li2-BZL to reduce the bandgap, thereby improving the elctrochemical lithium storage performance of Li2-BZL electrode in comparision to that of Li2-BPDC.

The extension of reticular chemistry concepts to electrically conductive three-dimensional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been challenging, particularly for cases in which strong interactions between electroactive linkers create the charge transport
A New Site Selective Synthesis of Benzoin Esters. Synthesis of Symmetrically and Unsymmetrically Substituted Benzils

A series of novel benzoin esters has been obtained in high yield, in a site selective synthesis, by the acid hydrolysis of a series of 4-benzoyloxy-2-azabuta-1,3-dienes.The oxidation of the benzoin esters allows the preparation of symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted benzils by a route that is superior, in some cases, to those previously reported.
