理论化学在中国的发展

Development of Theoretical Chemistry in China

本文回顾1949年以来,我国理论化学的发展历史。全文始于"荒漠渐成绿洲"的总体概括,进入主体全面的论述。按1978年划分为前、后两期。前期为学科的成长成熟期,以创业人及少数从业者的科教活动为中心,后期为学科的繁荣期,以本学科现阶段中青年精英创造佳绩、进入学科主流领域为中心。按时间进程将前后期最有代表性的10个方面研究成就进行评述。总结过去,展望未来,提岀加强高校理科化学专业的基础教学和实现物化学科(含理论化学)培训目标的建议。

The history of theoretical chemistry in China has been traced back since 1949.Starting from the original sterile state,the theoretical chemistry has gradually grown up into oasis with remarkable advances in some aspects.The development of theoretical chemistry can be divided into two periods with the year of 1978 as the boundary.The early growing-up time is marked by the research and teaching contributions from the pioneer（as supervisor） and his students,and the latter booming time is being depicted by young generation,who made progress in main stream of theoretical chemistry.The advances in 10 typical aspects are reviewed in time sequence.By the end of this review,some outlooks and suggestions are given,especially for strengthen of fundamental teaching of chemistry department in universities and the training of physical chemistry（including theoretical chemistry）.
