报告人简介

Banglin Chen was born in Zhejiang, China. He received his BS (1985) and MS (1988) degrees in Chemistry from Zhejiang University in China, and his PhD (2000) from the National University of Singapore. He worked with Professors Omar M. Yaghi at University of Michigan, Stephen Lee at Cornell University, and Andrew W. Maverick at Louisiana State University as a postdoctoral fellow during 2000–2003 before joining the University of Texas-Pan American in 2003. He moved to the University of Texas at San Antonio in August 2009, and was promoted to be a professor in August 2011, working on multifunctional metal–organic framework and hydrogen bonded organic framework materials. He is a Fellow of American of Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (2017), a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) (2019) and a Foreign Fellow of European Academy of Sciences (EURASC) (2019). In 2011, Dr. Chen was ranked as the 15th Top Chemist over the past decade (2000 to 2010) based on the citation impact score by the Thomson Reuters. During 2014-2021, he was chosen annually as a highly cited researcher in Chemistry by the Clarivate Analytics. In November 2018 and October 2021, he received the Humboldt Prize and 2021 Southwest Regional ACS Award, respectively.

Our Journey of Exploring Multifunctional Metal-Organic and Hydrogen Bonded Organic Framework Materials

报告摘要

With the establishment of chemistry of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and hydrogen bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) over the past three decades, MOFs and HOFs are emerging as very powerful platforms for developing multifunctional materials. In this talk, a brief history of MOF and HOF chemistry will be introduced. Then, our journey of exploring such multifunctional materials will be presented through demonstration of some representative examples of MOFs and HOFs, particularly on gas storage (hydrogen, methane, and acetylene) and gas separation and purification (acetylene/ethylene, ethylene/ethane, propylene/propane, and carbon dioxide/acetylene). The rational design reticular chemistry has enabled us to rationally tune the pores and to introduce functional sites on the pore surfaces for their specific recognition of small gas molecules, providing us the promise to address some grand energy and environmental challenges and thus to benefit our society and daily life.

Metal-Organic Frameworks at the Biointerface

报告摘要

生物酶因其催化的效率、选择性以及优异的环境可持续性，在化学合成及生物科技方面有极大的潜力。然而，生物酶的三维结构主要通过微弱的非共价作用维持，任何温度、pH和化学应力的变化都有可能破坏甚至消除生物酶的催化活性。有机金属框架（MOF）是一类由有机配体和金属离子或团簇通过配位键自组装形成的多孔网络材料。生物酶通过一种称为“封装”的过程，在MOF的自组装合成中，能够嵌套进入MOF的结构内部。这种复合结构可以提供对生物酶的有效保护，显著提高生物酶在催化中的耐用性。另外，这项工作还指出蛋白质-MOF的相互作用在成功的蛋白质封装及后续生物活性保存中扮演了非常重要的角色。
