C–H functionalization for materials science
Direct functionalization of C–H bonds has received significant attention in the synthetic chemistry community. In recent years, rapid and site-selective π-extension by C–H activation/functionalization has emerged as an ideal methodology for preparing organic π-materials. This issue focuses on π-extending C–H functionalization reactions directed toward new organic materials.
