Ljusdriven metod skapar små housan-molekyler för medicinskt bruk

20 maj 2026

Rapporterad av AI

Forskare vid universitetet i Münster har utvecklat en ny teknik som använder ljus för att producera högspända housan-molekyler. Dessa kompakta strukturer skulle kunna stödja framsteg inom läkemedelsutveckling och materialvetenskap.

Ett team lett av professor Frank Glorius vid institutionen för organisk kemi vid universitetet i Münster i Tyskland har introducerat metoden. Den omvandlar enkla kolväten, kända som 1,4-diener, till housaner genom fotokatalys, vilket tillför den energi som krävs för omvandlingen.
