Prof. Jon A. Tunge, from University of Kansas, USA, visited Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM) at the invitation of the State Key Laboratory of Structural Chemistry on July 11th, 2015. While staying at FJIRSM, Prof. Jon A. Tunge delivered a seminar report entitled “Synthesis via C-C Cleavage”, and carried out detailed discussion with the research staff at FJIRSM. Jon A. Tunge received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Idaho where he worked with Prof. Ray von Wandruszka on the development of fluorescent probes for high explosives. From 1995-2000 he worked on developing asymmetric transformations of organozirconocenes under the direction of Prof. Jack R. Norton. After receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2000, he moved to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the mechanisms of organometallic transformations under the guidance of Prof. Charles P. Casey. In the fall of 2002 Dr. Tunge joined the faculty at the University of Kansas , where he has established a research program combining the topics of catalytic reaction development, combinatorial chemistry, and green synthetic chemistry. He is the recipient of an NSF-CAREER Award (2005) the W. T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence, and was recently promoted to Professor of Chemistry.
