合成我们的未来

Synthesizing Our Future

化学是现代科学的中心,而合成化学又在化学中起着基础和中心的作用。100多年来,合成化学为社会进步做出了巨大贡献,合成物质和合成材料极大地影响和改变了人类的生活。21世纪,合成化学将继续发挥强大的创造力,不断深化学科内涵并拓展与其他领域包括材料科学、生命科学等的交叉与融合。绿色过程将成为合成化学的主题,未来合成化学不仅要为解决现有的和预期的全球性的资源、能源、环境、材料以及食物和健康等一系列问题做出新的贡献,而且有责任改变其在公众中的负面印象。

Chemistry has a central role in science,and synthesis plays an essential role in chemistry.Synthetic substances and materials have demonstrated a significant impact in determining the quality of our life in the last century.Although chemical synthesis has now reached an extraordinary level of sophistication,there is still vast room for improvement.In this century,to be more tightly merged with other fields such as material and life sciences,to generate more interdisciplinary areas,is an inevitable trend in synthetic chemistry.Nowadays, synthetic chemistry should pursue＂GREEN＂process.In this context,the atom economy,the E-factor and 3Rs（reduction,recycling and reuse）of resources must be taken into account in synthetic industry.The greatest challenge of synthetic chemistry,not only,will be immense responsibility to tackle a range of existing or predicted social and global issues associated with resources,energy,materials,the environment,food and health, but also the redeeming the negative impression of synthetic chemistry in public.
