@HongSun55833628 Thanks, Hongwei. You are the expert!

[Xingfeng Bai @XingfengBai]

Happy to share my recent paper "Selective C(aryl)-O Bond Cleavage in Biorenewable Phenolics" published
@ChemSocRev
An output of my MSCA project @MSCActions under the framework of Horizon Europe @HorizonEU
Thanks to Gilles De Smet and Prof Maes @Maes_Group
Learned a lot from them!
