Alkenes are extremely important feedstocks that serve as precursors and intermediates for the synthesis of value-added targets.

Boron dipyrroles (BODIPYs) are N, N π – conjugated tetracoordinated organic boron compounds that are chelated by bipyrroles.

​Topological order is a new quantum phase beyond Landau’s symmetry-breaking paradigm. Its defining features include robust degenerate ground states, long-range entanglement, and anyons.

Chiral amines are the most common functional groups for stereochemically complex molecules in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. The strong demand for unnatural chiral amines has driven numerous racemic amine synthetic methods to become catalytically asymmetric.

Associate Professor Zong-Xiang Xu’s research group from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has recently made a series of research progress in the field of energy conversion, storage and application.
