4 chemists won the Chinese Chemical Society-BASF Youth Knowledge Innovation Award

On May 11, the Chinese Chemical Society announced the winners of the 11th Chinese Chemical Society-BASF Youth Knowledge Innovation Award
.
Four young chemists, including Fan Jiangli from Dalian University of Technology, Li Feng from Jilin University, Xing Huabin from Zhejiang University, and Zhu Shoufei from Nankai University, won this honor
.

Fan Jiangli's reason for awarding the award is to focus on the regulation of excited state energy release of dyes, to create fluorescent functional dyes for diagnosis and treatment, and to contribute to the development of China's in vitro blood diagnosis field from being a monopoly to an international leader
.
She created a series of fluorescent identification dyes such as intracellular tumor markers and nucleic acids, optimized their stability, penetration and diffusion in cells, and localization of subcellular organelles, etc.
, and developed a series of fluorescent dyes with excellent performance for creating high-performance "" Five Differential Blood Cell Analysis System"
.
Recently, she continued to carry out research on "targeted light-driven functional dyes and their applications" in the field of medicine and engineering, and proposed and verified the concept of type III photosensitizers for targeted photodynamic therapy
.

The reason for Li Feng's award is to propose and verify the new concept of organic electroluminescence of doublet exciton emission, and to open up a new field of electroluminescence of free radical open-shell molecules
.
His source innovation in doublet exciton electroluminescence complements the photophysical process of doublet luminescence to the Jablonski diagram describing exciton transitions in photochemistry textbooks, subverting the traditional inability to free radicals The cognition of luminescence has opened up a new direction of doublet exciton luminescence for the study of organic electroluminescence
.

The reasons for Xing Huabin's award are: focus on ion-functionalized material properties regulation, selective identification and strengthening research, development of a number of structural similar separation technologies and industrial applications
.
He proposed a method for the separation of hydrocarbons by ion-hybridized porous materials.
Through the regulation of pore structure and pore chemistry, the selective separation of structurally similar olefins, alkynes and hydrocarbon isomers was realized, which provided the basis for the preparation of high-purity hydrocarbons.
It has cooperated to develop the selective extraction and separation technology of natural active homologs, realize the large-scale production of high-purity homolog monomers, and achieve significant social and economic benefits
.

The reasons for Zhu Shoufei's award are: to open up a new direction of catalytic hydrogen transfer, establish new reactions and new strategies for hydrogen transfer, and drive the progress of hydrogen transfer research
.
From the unique perspective of hydrogen transfer control, he has integrated three types of important catalytic organic synthesis reactions and achieved a series of original results
.
He proposed the concept of "chiral proton shuttle catalyst", which provided a new solution for metal-catalyzed asymmetric proton transfer reactions; discovered a new reaction of catalytic carbene insertion into boron-hydrogen bonds, which became a new generation of carbon-boron bonding reactions; development of many A novel open-shell iron catalyst exhibits irreplaceability in a variety of hydrogen transfer reactions, and the spin state effect of iron catalysts is discovered
.

The Chinese Chemical Society-BASF Youth Knowledge Innovation Award is an academic award jointly established by the Chinese Chemical Society and BASF New Materials Co.
, Ltd.
in 2001.
Surface and colloid chemistry, bioengineering, outstanding young scientists under the age of 45
.
The awards are held every two years, and each term will award no more than 4 people
.
As of 2021, the award has been awarded to 44 recipients
.
