Application

Triphenylphosphine oxide can be used:
  • As a catalyst in Appel-type chlorination reaction of acyclic primary and secondary alcohols.
  • As a catalyst in stereoselective poly and dibromination of α,β-unsaturated esters and β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester compounds.
  • As a promotor in the diastereoselective synthesis of α-ribofuranosides through ribofuranosylation of alcohols with ribofuranosyl iodides.

Reduced-dimensional perovskites are attractive light-emitting materials due to their efficient luminescence, color purity, tunable bandgap, and structural diversity. A major limitation in perovskite light-emitting diodes is their limited operational stability. Here we demonstrate that rapid photodegradation arises from edge-initiated photooxidation

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for solution-processed blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, halide phase segregation - and the resultant spectral shift - at LED operating voltages hinders their application. Here we report true-blue LEDs employing quasi-two-dimensional cesium
