National laboratory office

The main duties of Beijing National Laboratory of Molecular Science are to assist the laboratory director in handling daily affairs, including implementing and supervising matters decided by the laboratory board, uniformly collecting and distributing letters from higher authorities, drafting and formulating internal regulations and documents of the laboratory, managing operating expenses, publicizing internally and externally and submitting comprehensive statistical annual reports.

executive board

The main duties of the National Laboratory Executive Committee are to manage the daily affairs of the laboratory under the leadership of the National Laboratory Director, put forward various suggestions and plans, and report them to the laboratory board/academic committee for discussion, deliberation and adoption; Regularly report the management and operation of the laboratory to the Council, and report the positioning, research direction and scientific research progress of the laboratory to the academic Committee. The Executive Committee consists of the director and deputy director of the laboratory and some conveners of the research department during the preparatory period. The Executive Committee consists of 1 director, 2 deputy directors and several members, with a term of two years. The director of the Executive Committee is held by Peking University Institute of Chemistry or Institute of Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences in turn, and the implementation period is 1 year; The deputy director and members are recommended by Peking University Institute of Chemistry and Institute of Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences respectively.

Research departments and research groups

According to the frontier of molecular science and the important strategic needs of the country, combined with the research characteristics of the original laboratory of the supporting unit, the National Laboratory plans to set up 9 research departments during the preparation period, and each research department has several research groups. The director of the research department is openly recruited at home and abroad, selected and nominated by the director of the national laboratory, approved by the academic Committee of the national laboratory, and appointed by the director of the national laboratory. During the preparation of the laboratory, it is planned to set up a preparatory convener in each research department. The leader of the research group will be selected from the Institute of Chemistry and the research group of the Institute of Chemistry, nominated by the National Laboratory Director, examined and approved by the Academic Committee of the National Laboratory, and appointed by the Laboratory Director. With the proposal or solution of major scientific problems, it will be established or cancelled dynamically upon the proposal of the laboratory director and the examination and approval of the National Laboratory Academic Committee.

Nine research departments were established in the early stage of construction:

(1) Department of Material Structure and Molecular Dynamics;

(2) Research Department of Synthesis and Assembly Chemistry;

(3) Research Department of Inorganic and Rare Earth Chemistry;

(4) Polymer Science and Materials Research Department;

(5) Research Department of Nanoscience and Technology;

(6) Research Department of Chemical Biology;

(7) Organic Solid Research Department;

(8) Analysis and Environmental Molecular Science Research Department;

(9) Research Department of Energy and Green Chemistry.

Relevant research departments or research groups

Beijing National Laboratory of Molecular Science employs world-class scientists in the field of molecular science to form an independent evaluation committee of the National Laboratory, which regularly evaluates the research groups and departments of the National Laboratory. On this basis, the research group and research department are adjusted accordingly.

Analysis, testing and technical support

The center is an analytical testing and technical support institution of the national laboratory, which is composed of Beijing Mass Spectrometry Center, Beijing Nuclear Magnetic Center, Peking University and the Analytical Testing Center of the Institute of Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences. It actively strives for greater financial input from the state and establishes a first-class support system and an advanced and perfect experimental research platform. Highlight openness and enjoyment, make rational use of resource allocation, improve service quality and service level, and open to relevant research units across the country. The technical personnel of the Technical Support Center for Analysis and Testing shall have a chief engineer, who shall provide technical support for the equipment, be responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the equipment, and ensure the smooth development of scientific research projects of laboratory researchers. During the preparatory period, the director of the analytical testing and technical support center also serves as the director of the laboratory.

research department

Organic chemistry is an important core and innovative discipline of molecular science, and it is the basis for the development of many related disciplines. At the same time, organic chemistry is a very practical subject, which is closely related to pharmaceutical, fine chemical and other industries, so there is a huge demand for organic chemistry talents in society.

The construction goal of the research department

Continue to refine the research direction, form a distinctive research field, strengthen the intersection with material chemistry and life science, and make this research department become an internationally influential research team of synthesis and assembly chemistry. It provides methods and bases for developing and creating new drugs, and means and methods for simulating the structure and function of life systems and developing new materials.

By integrating the research forces of the Institute of Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Chemistry of Peking University, and introducing talents in related research fields, after 3-5 years of construction, the research team of this research department will reach about 65 people, including about PI 35 people.

The research direction and focus of the research department

Research direction: on the one hand, pay attention to the mainstream of international organic chemistry and related frontier cross fields, including metal organic chemistry, organic synthetic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, material organic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry; On the other hand, assembly chemistry. Organic synthetic chemistry takes the valence bond connection of atomic groups as the core, and assembly chemistry mainly realizes the information or function of molecules through weak or non-valence interactions between molecules, which is the inevitable development of synthetic chemistry.

Research focus:

Study on synthesis methodology, asymmetric synthesis and total synthesis of complex natural products;

Study on selective cleavage and recombination of carbon-carbon bond skeleton and carbon heteroatom bond;

Synthesis of new functional molecules, catalytic organic reactions, metal carbene reactions and fullerene chemistry;

Study on molecular recognition, molecular aggregation and various multi-level ordered structures;

Molecular assembly and frontier research in life and materials science.

Inorganic and Rare Earth Chemistry Research Department

The research direction of this research department not only includes the core research content of molecular science, but also is closely related to materials, physics and other disciplines. The main objects are inorganic and rare earth chemistry and materials.
