On Oct. 2nd, 2013, the paper from Professor Wu Yun-Dong and Professor Jianwei Sun at HKUST’s group has been highlighted on Nature China. The paper published in JACS is entitled “Ligand-Controlled Remarkable Regio- and Stereodivergence in Intermolecular Hydrosilylation of Internal Alkynes: Experimental and Theoretical Studies”. The first highly efficient ligand-controlled regio- and stereodivergent intermolecular hydrosilylations of internal alkynes have been reported. DFT calculations suggest that steric effect plays a critical role in governing selectivity, and the synergistic interplay between the substituent in the alkyne and the ligand that ultimately determines the observed remarkable regio- and stereodivergence.
