About the Lab

Professor Junho Shin's research lab specializes in organometallic chemistry, with a focus on the synthesis and reactivity of early transition metal complexes, particularly those of molybdenum, tantalum, and zirconium. The lab investigates novel ligand environments, such as tert-butyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl and phosphorus-bridged ansa-ligands, to modulate metal center electronics and reactivity. Key research directions include the development of chalcogenolate–hydride and pnictogen-based complexes, along with dynamic processes such as ligand inversion and alkylative transformations. The work often combines structural characterization (X-ray diffraction), spectroscopic techniques (e.g., dynamic NMR), and vibrational analysis (e.g., IR of CO stretches) to probe electronic and steric effects in main-group and transition metal systems.

Journal of the Chemical Society Dalton Transactions

An investigation of the chemistry of the tert-butyl-substituted molybdenocene system, {(CpBut)2Mo} (CpBut = C5H4But), has demonstrated that the η2-acetonitrile ligand in (CpBut)2Mo(η2-MeCN) may be alkylated by RI (R = Me, Et) at nitrogen to give iminoacyl derivatives, [(CpBut)2Mo(η2-MeCNR)]+, which is a new type of reactivity for mononuclear acetonitrile complexes. A series of chalcogenolate–hydride complexes (CpBut)2Mo(EPh)H (E = S, Se, Te) have been obtained by reaction of (CpBut)2MoH2 with Ph

A series of phosphorus-bridged ansa -metallocene complexes of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium, [PhP(C 5 Me 4 ) 2 ]MX 2 and [Ph(E)P(C 5 Me 4 ) 2 ]MX 2 (X = Cl, Me, CO, (Se 3 ) 0.5, (Te 3 ) 0.5; E = O, S, Se), has been synthesized. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction indicates that, in comparison to their non- ansa counterparts (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 MX 2, the cyclopentadienyl groups in phosphorus-bridged complexes are displaced from symmetric η 5 -coordination toward η 3 -coordination.

Correcting Shape and Size Using Temporary Filler after Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants
Jun Ho Shin, Jeong Seok Suh, Si Gang Yang
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryOA

Breast contour deformities, lack of volume and asymmetry are common confronted problems after breast augmentation with implants. These problems can be corrected by using temporary fillers or autologous fat grafts. The purpose of this study was to introduce our experience using long lasting temporary filler (Aquafilling®) for the correction of unfavorable results after breast augmentation with silicone implants. Two non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding women unsatisfied with previous breast augmentati

Reasonable cholecystectomy of gallbladder polyp – 10 years of experience

SJR Q2Asian Journal of SurgeryOA

Gallbladder polyps with 10-11 mm in asymptomatic young patients (less than 50 years old) have low risk of malignancy, and therefore, a careful "wait and see with follow up by using ultrasonography strategy" might be more appropriate than immediate cholecystectomy.

The ansa-effect in permethyltantalocene chemistry: a [Me2Si] ansa bridge promotes olefin-insertion and reductive-elimination reactions for [Me2Si(C5Me4)2]Ta(η2-C2H4)H and [Me2Si(C5Me4)2]TaH3

The ansa-effect, as it applies to tantalocene chemistry, has been investigated by a comparison of the chemistry of [Me2Si(C5Me4)2]TaH3 and [Me2Si(C5Me4)2]Ta(η2-C2H4)H with their permethyltantalocene counterparts; these studies demonstrate that incorporation of the [Me2Si] ansa bridge substantially enhances the rates of both reductive elimination of H2 and ethylene-insertion into a Ta–H bond.

Fluoro Complexes of Permethyltantalocene, Cp*2TaF3 and [Cp*2TaF2][BF4]: Facile Formation of a Tetrafluoroborate Complex via Corrosion of Borosilicate Glass
Jun Ho Shin, Gerard Parkin
SJR Q2Organometallics

The trihydride complex Cp* 2 TaH 3 is a convenient precursor to a series of halide derivatives, which include unusual examples of organometallic fluoride complexes. Most interestingly, reaction of Cp* 2 TaH 3 with (C 5 H 5 N)(HF) x affords the trifluoride complex Cp* 2 TaF 3 when carried out in a plastic vessel, but the tetrafluoroborate complex [Cp* 2 TaF 2 ][BF 4 ] when performed in a borosilicate glass vessel. In contrast, reaction of Cp* 2 TaH 3 with [Et 3 N(HF) 3 ] results in cleavage of on

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Preferences for the Diastereoselective Oxidative Addition of H2 to trans-Ir(P*R3)2(CO)Cl: Monodentate Chiral Phosphines May Impart Exceptional Degrees of Diastereoselectivity
Jun Ho Shin, Gerard Parkin
SJR Q1Journal of the American Chemical Society

Studies on square planar iridium complexes of the type trans-Ir(PR(3))(2)(CO)Cl, where PR(3) is PhP[(C(5)Me(4))](2), PhP[Me(2)C(4)H(6)], or PhP[Pr(i)(2)C(4)H(6)], demonstrate that monodentate chiral phosphines impart exceptional degrees of diastereoselectivity in the oxidative addition of H(2). Thus, the oxidative addition of H(2) to the two faces of the meso isomer (R,S)-trans-Ir(PR(3))(2)(CO)Cl proceeds with a kinetic diastereoselectivity which exceeds that for related square planar iridium co
