个人简介

Shaozhong was born in Anhui, China in 1980. He received his B.A. in polymer chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei, Anhui) in 2002. Then, he moved to Finland to start an international master's program in Åbo Akademi University and got his M. Sc. in chemical engineering in 2004, developing group IV (Zr and Hf) metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerization. As he could not tolerate the extreme weather in Finland, he moved to Univeristy of Groningen in Netherland to continue his graduate study. He studied organo rare earth metal catalysts for olefin functionalization and polymerization, and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2009 from University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bart Hessen. From 2010 to 2014, he worked for Prof. John F. Hartwig as a postdoc research associate, developing nickel- and palladium-catalyzed (asymmetric) C-C and C-N cross-coupling chemistry in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of California at Berkeley. In January of 2015, he joined the Chemistry Department at National University of Singapore as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in January of 2021.

研究领域

Research in our group focuses on the development of practical transition-metal catalyzed chemcial transformations that address unsolved challenges in synthetic methodology and organic synthesis. The goal is to develop catalytic transformations that can be used in the pharmaceutical industry for synthesis of medicinally relevant molecules and in the upgrading of biomass. The approach to such goal involves the synthesis of well-defined complexes of transition metals, systematic studies of their reactivity, and detailed studies of reaction mechanism. Current research programs in our laboratory include: 1) the development of practical catalysts for the hydrofunctionalization of alkenes; 2) the synthesis of well-defined hydrido-complexes of transition metals for practical (asymmetric) reduction of unstaturated orgnic molecules and CO2; 3) the development of base metal catalysts for cross-coupling reactions and the functionalization of C-H bonds; and 4) the development of well-defined low-valent complexes of transtion metals for the activation of C-C and C-O bonds.
