Progress in Precision Conversion of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Catalyzed by Photo-nickel Made by Chu Lingling's Research Team

Date:2023-05-23

Recently, Chu Lingling’s research team in the Center for Advanced Low-Dimensional Materials (CALM) of DHU has achieved a series of free radical selective conversion reactions involving unsaturated hydrocarbons based on the synergistic catalytic strategy of visible light and nickel.


The research results were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nature Communications, Chem and other international journals, with Huo Liping, a doctoral student in the College of Materials Science and Engineering, DHU, as the first author and DHU as the sole communication institution.


In addition, the team’s work on 1,3-diolefins was published in Nature Communications, with  Long Tianyu, a doctoral student in the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, DHU, as the first author and DHU as the first communication institution.


The team’s work on the synthesis of α-alkenyl phosphonate compounds was published in Chem, with Li Xiaofang, a doctoral student in the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, DHU, as the first author and DHU as the first communication institution.


In recent years, Chu Linglin’'s research team in the Center for Advanced Low-Dimensional Materials has been working on catalytic controlled radical selective transformation with fruitful results. (J.

He has been invited to write several reviews in English and Chinese (Chem. Soc. Rev. 2021, 50, 10836; Chem. Sci. 2020, 11, 4051; Org. Chem. Front. 2023, 10, 548, etc.).


It is reported that the CALM is actively building six research platforms to meet international academic frontiers and major national needs for scientific and technological research. Among them, by using clean and renewable resources to the development of novel and efficient catalytic systems, “Precision Chemical Synthesis” platform is dedicated to achieving the selective transformation of bulk chemical materials, to solving the basic synthesis problems in medicinal chemistry and materials chemistry. The platform aims to foster a team of young scientists with “optimized structure, cutting-edge research, moral and talent, and outstanding results” in this field.
