Pengarang: Tianyu Wang

Professor Dr Jurgen Fuhrhop is at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Freie Universitõt Berlin, Germany. He has written six books on Bioorganische Chemie (1983), Organic Synthesis (1994, 2003), Chemie f³r Mediziner (1994), Membranes and Molecular Assemblies (1995), Molecular and Supramolecular Chemistry of Natural Products and their Model Compounds (2000), Sieben Molek³le (2009) as well as more than 200 scientific papers and managed a Sonderforschungsbereich on “Vectorial Membrane Processes”. Over the course of 35 years, he and his 126 co-workers have contributed to the development of useful models for single steps in biological photosynthesis. Typical scientific subjects were the reactivity and assembly of porphyrins and bolaamphiphiles, spherical and planar monolayer lipid membranes (MLMs), chiral bilayer effects in micellar fibers, long-distance heterodimers and most recently, yoctowells and the sorting of molecules within them. The overall keywords from this research are reversible, noncovalent synthesis or synkinesis of photo- and redox-active systems. Dr Tianyu Wang is at the Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China. He completed his Ph D degree at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science in 2001 with Professor Jinshi Ma where he was working on porphyrin synthesis. He then carried out postdoctoral research on porphyrin polymers and yoctowells made of bolaamphiphiles in the laboratory of Professor Fuhrhop at the Free University of Berlin. He has since returned to the Chinese Academy of Science where he is currently working in nanochemistry.
