The State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials of Jilin University held the Supramolecular Chemistry and Materials Forum.

Zhang Xi pointed out that as one of the main constructors of polymer science in Jilin University, Academician Shen Jiacong has been active in the forefront of science, and has carried out supramolecular research earlier in China, and combined supramolecular with polymers, organic optoelectronics and biomaterials, constantly enriching the connotation of polymer science and expanding the extension of supramolecular science. Under his leadership and guidance, the State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structures and Materials was established on the basis of the former open laboratory of molecular spectroscopy and molecular structure of the State Education Commission, and talents were gathered and the direction was adjusted, which trained a batch of outstanding scientific research talents for the country. It is hoped that the teachers and students of the laboratory will continue to carry forward the scientist spirit of their predecessors who are rigorous in studying and serving the country, face the forefront of world science, meet the development needs of the country, actively optimize the layout, and boldly explore and innovate.

At the meeting, Academician Shen Jiacong gave an academic report entitled "Research Progress of Supramolecular Chemistry in Jilin University". In more than an hour’s report, he began with the initial layered assembly film, and told everyone in detail the course of becoming attached to supramolecular chemistry and the research experience of expanding supramolecular chemistry to the fields of organic luminescence and biomedicine, and outlined the scientific research track from tracking to leading the forefront of science and technology for decades. Although he is very old, he has clear thinking and profound thoughts, and tells profound scientific principles in simple and easy-to-understand language like a story, which makes the students present memorable and benefit a lot.

Zhang Hongyu, Dong Zeyuan and Wu Guanglu, representatives of outstanding young scholars in the laboratory, gave academic reports entitled "Flexible organic supramolecular luminescent single crystal", "bionic ion channel" and "quantitative preparation strategy of multi-component functional assembly" respectively, and introduced a series of breakthrough research achievements made by their teams in the fields of supramolecular luminescent materials and devices, biological supramolecules and flexible solar cells in recent years.
