From C–C bond cleavage to fluorescence: cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene-driven activation of 1,2-diketones
Solhye Choe, Chaerin Lim, Jaelim Kim, Myeongsu Jeong, Byunghyun Ko, Sunghoon Kang, Min Hyung Lee, Dongwhan Lee, Eunsung LeeCAACs promote selective C–C bond cleavage of 1,2-diketones via reaction-driven structural reorganization. Subsequent AlCl 3 coordination affords a dinuclear Al complex featuring a fluorescence switch-on through framework rigidification.
