Organometallic chemistry is a dynamic field that explores the synthesis, structure, reactivity, properties, and applications of metal-organic compounds. These compounds, formed by a central metal atom bonded to surrounding organic ligands, play a vital role in advancing modern science and technology.
Among the most innovative developments in this field are Carbolong Complexes—a class of compounds featuring a planar conjugated carbon chain (with seven or more carbon atoms) connected through at least three carbon-metal bonds. These complexes are formed by bonding transition metals to extended carbon frameworks.

In 2013, Professor Xia Haiping’s research group pioneered the synthesis and naming of Carbolong Complexes. Their work led to the creation of a series of original structures with exceptional performance characteristics. These complexes exhibit high reactivity and can be tailored through pre-modification and post-derivatization, enabling the development of diverse functional molecules.
Applications of Carbolong Complexes span multiple cutting-edge fields, including:
- Light energy conversion
- Biomedicine
- Homogeneous catalysis
- Oxygen activation
