Report Introduction: Oxidation-reduction reactions are an important class of processes in chemical synthesis. The development of green and sustainable oxidation-reduction reactions is crucial for alleviating resource scarcity and improving environmental pollution. This report is based on abundant metal catalysis and has developed a series of homogeneous complex catalysts, nanocatalysts, and single-atom catalyst systems based on transition metals such as iron, cobalt, and manganese. Through the synergistic action of metals and nitrogen ligands, it has achieved efficient conversion of small molecules such as alcohols, amines, and alkenes. These reactions have high atom economy, mild reaction conditions, and do not require additional oxidants or only use air as an oxidant, which is in line with the development trend of green chemistry and sustainable organic synthesis.

Introduction to the speaker: Tang Conghui, graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree, and obtained his Ph.D. from Peking University in 2016. In 2020, he joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a researcher, doctoral supervisor, and team leader. His main research areas include transition metal catalysis, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, green and biomimetic organic synthesis. He has published 37 papers and his research achievements have won awards such as the Reaxys PhD Prize and the first prize of the Beijing Natural Science Award.
