Biography
Chun Yuan Liu obtained his Ph.D degree in 2005, supervised by F. A. Cotton, at Texas A&M University. Currently, He is a full professor at Jinan University. His research has been focused on study of electronic coupling (EC) and electron transfer (ET) between two charge bearing sites by taking a molecular approach. He uses quadruply bonded Mo-Mo complex units as the electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) and a diverse of organic bridging ligand (B) to construct D-B-A experimental models, in which the transferring electron is identified to be the d electrons. Quantitative evaluations of the EC and ET properties are achieved with the physical chemical parameters (Hab, DG°, DG*, l, Ket…) derived from electrochemical and spectroscopic data under the semi-classical theories. In study of photoinduced electron transfer, it is found that the d*®d back electron transfer is quite different from the d®d ET reaction in the mixed-valence systems, thus, a quantum incoherent pathway is proposed.
