Nominator's project description

Professor Dong is one of the internationally leading scientists in sustainable catalysis. Her contributions to catalyzed addition reactions with full selectivity control, particularly in hydroacylation, hydrofunctionalization and hydrogenation, have advanced the field in ways that are both practical and sustainable. In Germany, she continues her work on transition-metal-catalyzed bond activation, aiming to develop novel strategies for complex molecule assembly.
