Organometallic Lab
Research Field
I am Hsuan-Ying Chen from the Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry at Kaohsiung Medical University. My research focuses on the design and synthesis of organometallic catalysts for click reaction, coupling reaction, and ring-opening polymerization. From 2020 to 2025, 26 journal articles were published by our lab. as the corresponding author, including one article in Coord. Chem. Rev. (IF=23.5), one article in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF=17.0), two articles in Inorg. Chem. (IF=4.7), two articles in Eur. Polym. J. (IF=6.3), three articles in Polymer (IF Organ=4.5), and one article in Appl. organomet. Chem. (IF=3.7), four articles in Dalton Trans. (IF=3.3), two articles in Organometallics (IF=2.9), one article in RSC Adv. (IF=4.6), two articles in Mol. Catal. (IF=4.9), one article in J. Polym. Res. (IF=2.8), one article in Polym. Bull. (IF=4.0), one article in Polym. Adv. (IF =3.4), one article in J. Chin. Chem. Soc. (IF=1.5) , one article in RSC Sustainability (IF=4.9), one article in Chemical Engineering Journal (IF=13.2), and one article in J. Polym. Sci. (IF=3.6).
My laboratory is on the 11th floor of the First Teaching Building of Kaohsiung Medical University. Its equipment includes glove boxes, vacuum systems, rotary evaporators, GPC, and GC.
