Photocatalytic surface patterning of cellulose using diazonium salts and visible light

Org Biomol Chem. 2013 Oct 14;11(38):6510-4. doi: 10.1039/c3ob40990b. Epub 2013 Aug 21.

Abstract

Coumarin-functionalized cellulose sheets were chemically modified using a visible light catalyzed "Photo-Meerwein" arylation. Use of a photomask to pattern the surface resulted in directly visible images.
