Amphiphilic photo-isomerisable phosphanes for aqueous organometallic catalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Nov 7;46(41):7813-5. doi: 10.1039/c0cc02458a. Epub 2010 Sep 20.

Abstract

Water-soluble phosphanes were tagged with a light-responding diazo group. Upon UV exposure, the diazo-isomerisation led to phosphane morphology change, resulting in an increase in the reaction rate of an aqueous palladium-catalysed cleavage reaction.
