Piezoelectricity drives organic synthesis | Science
WEBDec 20, 2019 · Grinding piezoelectric barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), aryl diazonium salt, and furan with a ball mill allows organic synthesis of aryl furan compounds. The forceinduced deformed BaTiO 3 particles can act as reductants to produce radicals for further organic reaction, and also as oxidants to quench the radical addition intermediate by single ...
