Che Chi-ming

D., he spent 3 years at the California Institute of Technology conducting research in organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry in the laboratory of Harry B.

[5] Following his research stay in the United States, Che moved back to Hong Kong and started his independent career as a faculty at HKU.

[7] He has been engaged in inorganic chemistry research, organometallic synthesis where he and his group have studied high-valent and multimetallic complexes.

[11] His team has successfully developed practical tetradentate platinum(II)[12] and gold(III)[13] Emitters which are comparable if not superior in performances to the World best Iridium(III) Phosphors Che has pioneered the developed of Ru-OXO system which has opened up numerous opportunities for efficient catalytic oxidation processes.

[17] Another notable work from Che's group has been the development of gold-, platinum-, ruthenium- and palladium based metal compounds with anti-tumor activity.

[18][19][20] Specifically, they found that PEGylated gold(III) conjugates can exhibit multifunctional properties and undergo selective delivery to tumor tissues.
