Selective electroconversion is the foundation for industrial organic electrosynthesis. Recently in Cell Reports Physical Science, Stergiou and Symes demonstrate how molecular metal oxides can be used as redox mediators to facilitate the high-yield, selective electroreduction of nitroarenes to anilines, a widely used class of nitrogen-containing organic compounds.

氧化还原介体促进选择性电催化硝基芳烃到苯胺的还原

选择性电转化是工业有机电合成的基础。最近在Cell Reports Physical Science中，Stergiou 和 Symes 展示了如何将分子金属氧化物用作氧化还原介质，以促进高产率、选择性地将硝基芳烃电还原为苯胺，这是一种广泛使用的含氮有机化合物。
