2. Current Problems
• Products must be stronger oxidants than the
reactant to enable a chain reaction
• Reactions must run at high temperatures
• RA reactions cannot be triggered electronically
3. • New approach to electron-transfer catalysis of
chemical reactions
• Appends a redox unit to a reaction site
• Then removes an electron from the redox unit,
which triggers a reaction
Technology
4. • Product no longer needs to be a stronger oxidant
than the reactant
• RA group is very stable and does not decompose in
the oxidized form

Notes de l'éditeur
Should read like Wikipedia entry. Try to focus on the high points.
Closing slide. Make sure to add in UAIPD# then change font back to black.
