In this Chinese name, the family name is Xi.

Xi received his B.S. degree from Xiamen University in 1983, and his M.S. degree from Nanjing University, Zhengzhou University and Henan Institute of Chemistry in 1989. He joined Professor Tamotsu Takahashi's group at the Institute for Molecular Sciences, Japan, as a Ph.D. course student in 1993 and obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1996.

He took an assistant professor position at Hokkaido University, Japan, in 1997, after he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow with Professor Takahashi at Catalyst Research Centre, Hokkaido University.

He is a Chang Jiang Scholar Distinguished Professor (since 2001) of Peking University. In 2015, he became the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

His research interests are focused on organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis, including development of synthetic methodologies based on selective cleavage of C–H, C–C and C–X bonds mediated by organometallic compounds, development of organometallic reagents, study on mechanisms of reactions involving reactive organometallic intermediates, and synthesis of functional structures.[1]

He is now serving as editor or consultant for several international academic journals, including:
