报告人简介：

Prof. Liu completed his undergraduate studies at Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Gu Yuan. In 2008, he moved to Princeton University for the doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. John T. Groves, focusing on metalloporphyrin-catalyzed C-H halogenations. He then joined the Chang lab at Berkeley as a postdoctoral researcher, developing reaction-based probes for in vivo imaging and hybrid catalysts for CO reduction. He started his independent career at Miami’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in August 2017.

His current research focuses on high-valent copper(III) complexes and copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

内容简介：

In this talk, the recent development of a copper-catalyzed decarboxylative difluoromethylation reaction as well as the synthesis of novel copper(III) complexes will be discussed.
