At the beginning of this semester, the College of Chemistry held a colloquium for young chemists who had been introduced in the past few years. Chen Jun, the deputy president of the College of Chemistry hosted the discussion, and Qu Kai, the party secretary and others attended the meeting. The 18 young scholars first briefly introduced their educational background, scientific research experience and research interests, after which, 6 of them, the freshly-recruited ones including Zi Weiwei, pr

Chen Gong’s and He Gang’s groups, from State Key Laboratory of Elemento-organic Chemistry, reported an efficient strategy to achieve the syntheses of highly strained four-membered benzazetidines. Their method represents the first practical synthetic method for benzazetidines, which was thought to be a breakthrough in the synthesis of desired C-N cyclized products selectively. The journal Nature Chemistry published Chen’s research finding on August 1st. A heterocyclic compound is a cyclic compo

On July 15, 2016, the opening of the 3rd EOC forum was held at Union Buildings of Tianjin University and Nankai University. The EOC Symposium had launched by academician Zhou Qilin, and it opens annually in the charge of the State Key Laboratory of Elemento-Organic Chemistry with a different theme every year, and this years topic is “Transition Metal Catalysis for Organic Synthesis”. The symposium had invited 17 renowned chemists from worldwide to address academic lectures and 11 domestic ou

The International Talent Forum of Nankai University was inaugurated for the first time on June 24. Based on the platform of “State Key Disciplines” and “State Key Laboratories”, six sub-forums of different disciplines were to be held this year, among which, the “International Youth Chemists Forum”, the sub-forum of the College of Chemistry was the first. Zhu Liping, Deputy Secretary and Vice Chairman of Party Committee, and Xue Jinwen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nankai University bot

On May 27th, Professor Ang Li was invited to the Boling Forum, who delivered a lecture named “To Travel and To Arrive--A Journey of Natural Product Synthesis.” At the beginning of the lecture, Li introduced historic achievements in total synthesis and analyzed the inherent laws of those delicate natural products. Then he shared interesting anecdotes from leading organic chemists, which brought peals of laughter and enlivened the atmosphere. After that, Li talked about how he gradually became

The list for the Cheung Kong Scholars Program in 2015 was announced officially by the Ministry of Education. Seven talents of Nankai University were on the list. Professor Gong Chen and professor Fangyi Cheng, from the college of chemistry, both were elected as the Yong Scholars. By far, there have been fifty-nine professors, including thirty-nine distinguished professors, sixteen chair professors, and six young scholars in Nankai who got enrolled in the program.Professor Gong Chen Professor

On April 29th, Professor Xueming Yang, the member of CAS, delivered his address in State Key Laboratory of Elemento-Organic Chemistry. The topic is “A way to excellence-- my experience in scientific research”. Professor Yang shared his experiences when he was young. He explained that he started his research in experimental science because he was fascinated by nature when he was young, but step by step he finally became one of the most important scholars in molecular reaction dynamics. He sugg

Under the joint efforts of Pro. Bin Zhao’s group and Pro. Weichao Wang’s, a novel photocatalyst with bifunctional photocatalytic activities in water splitting and photo-degradation of organic pollutants, was successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. The related work has been published on Angewandte Chemie early in January. By far, it’s the first report on the photocatalyst that can not only produce hydrogen, a source of green energy, through photocatalytic splitting of water, bu
