Organometallic Catalysis Lab 
at Sungkyunkwan University

Our research focuses on discovering new modes of reactivity in transition-metal catalysis and translating them into selective and sustainable synthetic methods. We use organometallic catalysis to address challenging problems in asymmetric synthesis, electrochemical transformations, and organofluorine chemistry.

Our Research Approach & Focus

Our research is fundamentally rooted in transition-metal catalysis, with a particular focus on transition-metal hydride catalysis. Alongside the development of new catalytic transformations, we conduct mechanistic studies to uncover the fundamental principles governing reactivity. By understanding how these catalytic systems operate, we seek to discover new modes of reactivity and translate these insights into new synthetic methods. We are also interested in leveraging high-throughput experimentation (HTE) to accelerate reaction discovery and optimization, enabling the rapid development of new catalytic reactions. Our research centers on four main areas, as outlined below.

  • First-Low transition metal-hydride catalysis

  • Enantioselective catalysis

  • Metallaelectro-catalysis

  • Organofluorine chemistry
