• Research

  Prof. Shang-Da Jiang works in the field of molecular magnetism. His present research interests focus on the quantum coherent manipulation of magnetic molecules. Prof. Jiang has pioneered the development of organometallic single-ion magnets (Acc. Chem. Res.,2016, 49, 2381; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 122, 7610, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 4730), he has developed the methods to characterize the magnetic anisotropy and electronic structures of magnetic molecules, i.e., high resolution electron density analysis (Nat. Chem. 2020, 12, 213), polarized neutron diffraction (Chem.-Eur. J., 2018, 24, 16576), high-field / high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 12923). Prof. Jiang has proposed and realized to protect the high spin molecules in the cage-shape structure to enhance the quantum coherence behavior. Via this protocol, the longest quantum coherence time of the high spin molecule is hold since its discovery (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 10, 1123). Prof. Jiang has largely enhanced the electric-spin coupling and employed the electric field to demonstrate the controllable quantum phase gate, bang-bang control, quantum Zeno effect and the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm (Natl. Sci. Rev., 2020, 7, 1557). He has also discovered the quantum phase interference in the molecular system for the first time (npj Quant. Infor.,2021, 7, 32). Recently, for the first time, the spinor behavior as well as the Berry phase of the electron was demonstrated in an endohedral fullerene molecule by Prof. Jiang (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2022, 61, e2021152633).
