Porous partially fluorinated materials which bind aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons and freons with high weight adsorption capacities are provided. Such compounds may be used in separation of materials by exclusion such as selective separation of isomers of xylene.

Thermally robust, highly porous, and partially fluorinated organic framework with affinity for hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons and freons

The present invention is a one-step method for efficiently converting carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-carbon bonds using a combination of aryl halides, a substrate, and a copper salt as catalyst. This method allows faster introduction of complex molecular entities, a process that would otherwise require many more steps. This invention is particularly relevant for the organic synthesis of complex molecules such as, but not limited to, pharmacophores and explosives.

Copper-catalyzed C&#x2014;H bond arylation

A one-step method for efficiently converting carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-carbon bonds using chloroarenes and palladium catalysts is disclosed. This method allows faster introduction of complex molecular entities, a process that would otherwise require many more steps. This invention is particularly relevant for the organic synthesis of complex molecules such as, but not limited to, pharmacophores.
