Welcome to Wu Lab @ LICP
Welcome
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
