Scholar-generated biography
Zuowei Xie is a researcher in chemistry with a focus on organometallic chemistry and carborane-based compounds. Their work explores the synthesis and reactivity of metallacarboranes, particularly those involving f-block elements, and investigates transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of carborane cages. Xie's research also includes the development of new ligands, such as cyclopentadienyl-carboranyl hybrids, and the study of silylium ions and their interactions with hexahalo carborane counterions. Additionally, they have contributed to the understanding of π-arene/cation bonding and the catalytic behavior of iridium in borylation reactions. Their research has implications for catalysis, materials science, and the design of novel anions.
