| Abstract | In this CAREER project, funded by the Chemical Structure, Dynamics & Mechanisms B Program of the Chemistry Division, Wei Liu of the Department of Chemistry at University of Cincinnati is studying the fundamental reactivity of copper complexes for synthesizing important organic molecules. Compared to the precious metal analogues, copper catalysts are less expensive, less toxic, and have higher abundancy in the earth’s crust. However, the catalytic performance of copper complexes lags largely behi |
