Three new publications came out of the laboratory this summer: two on the deoxygenation of nitrogen oxides, one focused on synthesic methodology, the second focused on mechanistic studies in collaboration with photophysicists from the Joliot Institute, and the last on the synthesis of cyclic anhydrides by carbonylation using simplified catalysts.
Congratulations to all the authors for their work!
