Wang Group
Organometallic and Luminescent
Materials Chemistry
The Wang Group is an active and international research team
comprised of about a dozen students and led by Professor Suning Wang
in the Department of Chemistry at
Queen's University.
The group has broad research interests throughout
inorganic/organometallic chemistry, with particular emphasis on the
discovery of novel organoboron and transition metal systems for
applications in advanced materials. As such, the Wang Group is
involved in several multidisciplinary collaborations around the
globe with mutual international exchange opportunities available for
both students and visiting scholars (Prof.
Holger Braunschweig,
Prof.
Shigehiro Yamaguchi,
Prof. Matthias Wagner,
Prof. Zheng-Hong Lu, etc).
Professor Suning Wang is currently recruiting students
interested in undertaking graduate studies at Queen's University. If
you are a highly motivated individual keen on pursuing application
driven organic/inorganic synthesis, please contact Prof. Dr. Suning
Wang (suning.wang@chem.queensu.ca)
for additional information.

BORAM 2016 was highlight by C&EN
news.
July, 2016
The biannual BORAM meeting has a history of 30 years
and was traditionally held in the United States. The
2016 BORAM is the first one held in Canada with
Professor Suning Wang as the organizer. The BORAM
meeting provides a forum for scientists whose
research interests involve boron and its compounds
to communicate as well as cross-fertilize their
discoveries and ideas in boron-related chemistry.
BORAM also grants students and postdoctoral
researchers the opportunity to discuss their work
with faculty and industrial representatives.The 2016
BORAM meeting was attended by more than 150
participants from different regions of the world
including Canada, USA, Germany, UK, France, Japan,
China, India, Korea and Mexico, and nearly two
thirds of them were students and postdoctoral
fellows, making it the biggest BORAM meeting ever!

Congratulations to Dr. Wang
Sep, 2015
Prof. Dr. Suning Wang has been
elected as fellows to the Royal Society of Canada
(RSC), one of the highest honours for Canadian
academics in the arts, humanities, and social and
natural sciences.
"Suning Wang (Chemistry), a
researcher whose innovative approaches to
luminescent materials and inorganic chemistry has
contributed to opening up a significant new research
field: photo-responsive organoboron materials and
chemistry. Her studies on the phenomena of
photochromism, photoelimination and switchable
luminescence of organoboron systems, together with
her pioneering scholarship on blue fluorescent and
blue phosphorescent emitters for organic light
emitting diodes have reinvigorated research on
organoboron photochemistry and organoboron-based
materials chemistry worldwide. "
