Welcome to Wu Lab @ LICP
The aim of our lab is to design and apply catalysts based on early transition metals, main group elements, to realize the sustainable transformation of fossil sources and biomass into value-added chemicals! Currently, we are focusing on two directions:
1) group IV metals catalyzed the functionalization of alkenes and alkanes;
2) new methods for main group elements' bonds formation
Our work on Titanium-Catalyzed Reaction of Silacyclobutanes with Alkenes: Mimicking the Reactivity and Reversing the Selectivity Towards Late Transition Metals is online in ACIE! Congratulations to Yaqiong, Jiong Zhang, and Fang Wang ! 2024.12.5
Our work on Borane-Catalyzed Intermolecular Aryl Transfer between Hydrosilanes: Shifting the Equilibrium by Removal of a Gaseous Hydrosilane was online in JACS! Congratulations to Jiong Zhang, Ximei, Yaqiong, Yin Zhang, and Fang Wang ! 2024.11.21
Our paper on the skeletal editing of aromatic N-heterocycles via hydroborative cleavage of C−N bonds – scope, mechanism, and property was accepted by Angewandte Chemie! Congratulations to Chunping, Bo Han and our co-workers Fang Wang and Xuhui Jin! 2024.8.20
Our paper on the selective hydroboration of C−C single bonds without transition-metal catalysis was accepted by Angewandte Chemie! Congratulations to Sida Li and our co-workers Chaopeng Hu and Liu Leo Liu! 2024.7.31
