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.

Although quantum information processing based on superconducting quantum circuit systems has made great progress in recent years, the error rate of quantum operations is still much higher than that of a classical computer.

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.
