Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations
Professor Chang's group studies new organic reactions and mechanisms with transition metal catalysis. Research topics in our group have ranged in the development of new useful synthetic methodologies based on transition metal chemistry, synthesis of biologically important products, organic catalysis, chirality amplification and molecular mechanics based on molecular assembly. Research goals include transition metal catalyzed C–H bond functionalization for the carbon–carbon bond and carbon–heteroatom bond formation, development of useful catalytic organic transformations, methane activation and catalytic de-functionalization.
(06/14/2026 ~ 06/17/2026) Our group participated in the 7th International Conference on Organometallics and Catalysis, held in Suwon, Korea. It was an inspiring opportunity to engage with and learn from many distinguished chemists through insightful lectures, and Jihye and Harin presented posters on their research.
(04/15/2026 ~ 04/17/2026) Our group participated in the 137th General Meeting of the Korean Chemical Society, held in Jeju. We had the opportunity to hear a number of fascinating presentations at the JACS Symposium Series held in celebration of the 80th anniversary of KCS and the 150th anniversary of ACS.
(04/03/2026) We had our annual Strawberry party with Hong and Baik group from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations! The warm weather and soft music made for the perfect picnic beneath the cherry blossoms.
(03/18/2026) Xiang and Hoonchul's paper entitled "Transition-Metal Hydride Catalysis Meets Nitrenoid Transfer: Design Principles for Precision C–N Bond Formation" is now accepted for publication at Accounts of Chemical Research! Congratulations to Xiang and Hoonchul!
(10/22/2025 ~ 10/24/2025) Our group participated in the 136th General Meeting of the Korean Chemical Society, held in Changwon. We enjoyed inspiring lectures such as "Frontiers in Asymmetric Catalysis" organized by the Institute for Basic Science. Also, Harin and Seung Beom won the best poster awards. Congratulations!
(10/22/2025) Jihye and Jeonguk's paper entitled "Photocatalytic N–N Cross-Coupling to Access N’-Aryl Hydrazides" is now accepted for publication at ACS Catalysis! Congratulations to Jihye, Jeonguk and Dongwook!
