Nominator's project description

Professor Liu has developed novel concepts and elegant strategies for selective oxidative functionalization of alkenes and alkanes. As a leading scientist of the field, he pioneered enantioselective trapping of carbon-centered radicals enabled by chiral metal catalysts. In Germany, Professor Liu focuses on stereoselective transition metal mediated radical coupling reactions.
