RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Liu group is focusing on the mechanism study of the key bond transforming in the organometallic and elemento-organic systems, using the methods of physical organic chemistry, to explore and discover new photo/electronic catalytic reaction systems. Our interests include:
1. Physical organic chemistry of elemento-organic compounds and organofluorine solvents;
2. Experimental mechanism study of catalytic organic reactions (including Proton-coupled electron transfer, PCET, HAT, et al);
3. Artificial modeling system for metalloenzymes;
4. New photo/electronic catalytic reaction systems, and their applications in transformations of biomass and CO2.
