報告人簡介:
Professor Nam received his PhD in chemistry from University of California, Los Angeles in 1990. Currently, he is the Director of Metal Oxygen Bioinspired Chemistry Laboratory,Ewha Womans University, Korea. He is the Associate Editor of Chemical Science. Up to now, he has published a series of important papers in redox chemistry including Acc. Chem. Res. (3), Science (2), Nature (1), Nature Chem (4), PNAS (2), JACS (58), Angew Chem (18).
Dioxygen is essential in life processes, and enzymes activate dioxygen to carry out a variety of biological reactions. One primary goal in biomimetic research is to elucidate structures of reactive intermediates and mechanistic details of dioxygen activation and oxygenation reactions occurring at the active sites of enzymes, by utilizing synthetic metal-oxygen complexes. In this presentation, He will present their recent results on the synthesis and structural and spectroscopic characterization of mononuclear nonheme metal-dioxygen intermediates as well as their reactivities in electrophilic and nucleophilic oxidation reactions.
