Abstract
Reporting in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Lu Li, Chao-Jun Li, and colleagues have designed a Ga-ZnO1–x nanosheet photocatalyst with rich frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) sites. They present a green methanol-to-ethanol conversion protocol and establish a safe strategy for generating methyl carbene under mild conditions.
