Talk Introduction

物理有机化学及金有机化学的蓬勃发展，引发出许多新型的合成反应，包括如酵素般的手型合成，造就了八九十年代无数的天然产物的合成。现在我们可以说，以现有合成反应的知识，只要画得出合理的化学结构，任何化合物合成不到，只能怪自己学艺不精。这是不是意味着合成化学已是一门成熟的科学了？从某一个程度来说，可以说比较成熟，可是从实际上来说，还差得远！可以做到，并不意味完美，更不表示有效。

什么是合成化学的未来？当前我们面临许多重大的问题有待解决，能源、环境、及生物医药、气候变迁等，需要全人类共同努力，合成化学无庸置疑地当扮演一定的角色。最后以Pablo Picasso的一句话与各位共勉：”The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters; creation is all.”

About the Speaker

Tien-Yau Luh obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago (with L. M. Stock) in 1974.  After spending two years of postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota (with P. G. Gassman), he joined the faculty at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1976 and moved back in 1988 to his alma mater, National Taiwan University, where he is currently NTU Chair Professor.  He has published 273 papers and received numerous awards, including JSPS Fellow, 2010, NTU Chair Professor of Chemistry, 2006-, Distinguished Research Fellow, Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica, 2001-2004, etc. He is also serving as a member of the advisory/editorial board for many important SCI journals. His current research interests include chemistry of materials and polymers, and organometallics in organic and polymer synthesis.
