ChemComm’s 60th Anniversary – Chun-Yu Ho

ChemComm is publishing its 60th volume in 2024. Over the past 60 years, ChemComm has been the RSC’s most cited journal, and one of the most trusted venues for rapid publication of short communications. In our anniversary year, we recognise the important contributions ChemComm has made, and continues to make, in advancing the chemical sciences.

As part of our anniversary celebrations, we’ve brought together a collection featuring the latest research from some of our most loyal and dedicated authors. From those marking the beginning of their independent academic career by publishing their first article with us, to the rising stars and established leaders publishing in our yearly ‘Emerging Investigators’ and ‘Pioneering Investigators’ collections, this collection champions the contributions of our worldwide author community. We are proud many authors choose to support our journal by regularly publishing their best work with us. This collection also features papers from our ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship winners, and our Outstanding Reviewer awardees, whose invaluable feedback has shaped our published content through the years.

To accompany the collection, we’ll be publishing profiles of contributing authors.

Chun-Yu Ho thanks Prof. Dan Yang and Prof. Timothy F. Jamison for their supervision on organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation and cross-coupling at The University of Hong Kong (BSc 2000, PhD 2005) and MIT (post-doc 2005-2007), respectively. He started his career as RAP at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2008-2012) and then joined Southern University of Science and Technology as Associate Professor. He is now a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Shenzhen Grubbs Institute. His current research interest mainly focuses on NHC–TM hydride catalyzed alkene synthesis and insertion, such as hydroalkenylation (Acc. Chem. Res. 2023, 56, 1070.), transfer-hydrogenation, and dehydroaromatization.
