报告人简介:

Jianliang Xiao is Professor of Catalysis at the University of Liverpool, UK. He received a B.Eng. at Northwest University in Xian in 1982. This was followed by an M.Eng. with Profs WU Chi and WANG Junyu at the RIPP in Beijing and a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Alberta under Prof Martin Cowie. After a postdoctoral appointment with Prof Richard Puddephatt, he worked as a Researcher in the ERATO Molecular Catalysis Project directed by Prof Noyori (Nobel Laurent 2001). In 1996 he took up a Principal Scientist position at the University of Liverpool, becoming a Lecturer in 1999 and Professor of Catalysis in 2005 in the chemistry department. His research is concerned with the design, development and understanding of molecular catalysts for sustainable chemical synthesis. 


报告摘要:

Molecular oxygen is indispensable to life, playing essential roles in many life-dependent chemical reactions. Whilst nature has mastered the mechanism of how to harness the reactions of O2, activation and use of O2 for selective oxidation remain challenging for chemist. This lecture will introduce some of the work we have been doing on selective oxidation by O2 using catalysts based on earth-abundant, bio-benign metals.
