The development of practical and efficient chiral catalytic systems for asymmetric organic reactions is one of the most important subjects in synthetic organic chemistry. In general, conformationally rigid chiral ligands have been proven to be extremely useful for the construction of a good oriented and fixed chiral environment around the metal ...
The biology and bioinspired catalysis research group at the State Key Laboratory for Oxo Synthesis and Selective Oxidation, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have synthesized novel bioinspired manganese complexes based on N4 ligands, with a more rigid, chiral diamine derived from proline and two ben...
Prof. Notker Roesch, director of the Catalysis Research Center of the Technical University of Munich, visited the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on September 14. During his stay, Prof. Notker Roesch delivered a lecture entitled Catalytic Transformation of Hydrocarbons: From Fuel Efficiency o...
Polymer brushes have been widely used in surface modification, nano polymer materials, etc. Controlled/“living” surface-initiated radical polymerization offers the possibility to generate brushlike polymeric thin films with controllable thickness, composition, and architecture. However, in standard surface-initiated ATRP, a CuI complex is used...
