The Baek Group Organometallics Lab

Our lab is interested in addressing problems of energy, environmental, and biological relevance for a greener and more sustainable future. Borrowing inspiration from nature’s enzymatic reactivity, we aim to combine transition metal catalysis and light-harvesting techniques to convert earth-abundant materials into value-added commodity chemicals. Specifically, we seek to develop generalizable transition metal architectures to conduct challenging redox transformations via facile proton and electron transfer processes both in the ground and excited states. Our research program encompasses the synthesis and characterization of reactive transition metal complexes to correlate their physical and electronic structure with reactivity. EPLL, SKBEP, S-EPSS, KSBP, CEPP, KEPSI, LGenius, EPSD 등 다양한 산학협력 프로그램에 관심 있는 학생들의 지원을 환영합니다. 연구실의 주요 연구 분야는 유·무기 화학, 유기금속화학, 광촉매 및 친환경 촉매 개발, OLED 및 배터리 소재 개발입니다. Our research focuses on organic and inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, photocatalysis, and sustainable catalyst development, as well as OLED and battery materials.
