The life of the character
1926 was born in Shanghai on September 5, with a well-off family. When I was a child, I studied at Xinzha Road Primary School of Shanghai Ministry of Industry, and then at Huatong College, a middle school affiliated to Shanghai St. John's University.
From 65438 to 0943, he entered the chemistry department of St. John's University in Shanghai.
1947, graduated from the chemistry department of St. John's University in Shanghai with an honorary bachelor's degree, and stayed as a teaching assistant.
On July 36, he received a letter from the University of Washington (Seattle) offering him a scholarship. In September, after more than two weeks of sea voyage, I arrived in San Francisco, USA, and then I arrived in Seattle. He began to study for a doctoral degree in the Department of Chemistry of Washington University, and studied under Professor H.J. Dauben, Jr., a physical organic chemist.
1952 graduated from the university of Washington, USA, with a doctorate. Because the US Congress passed a bill prohibiting China students studying science, engineering, agriculture and medicine in the United States from returning home, Jiang entered Kellogg Company, a large multinational chemical company, to improve the synthesis method of chlorotrifluoroethylene.
At the end of 1955, he refused the lobbying of American immigration officials and resolutely returned to China to invest in top-secret military projects urgently needed for national defense.
/kloc-0 entered the institute of chemistry, Chinese academy of sciences in March, 1956, presided over and successfully developed the first generation of fluororubber and fluoroplastics products in China.
1963 In July, he was transferred to Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences as an associate researcher, researcher and director of the fifth and sixth academic committees.
1in the winter of 964, he was sent to Shanghai Institute of Socialism by Shanghai Branch of Chinese Academy of Sciences for political study and ideological reform. Later, as a "reactionary academic authority of the bourgeoisie", Jiang was listed as the key cleaning object, and was kept in the basement of the experimental building for isolation review with a group of old scientists of the institute.
1978, in response to the call of China Academy of Sciences, the focus of scientific research shifted to basic research, and the first physical organic chemistry laboratory of China Academy of Sciences was established.
In 198 1, China has been added.
199 1 Elected Academician of China Academy of Sciences.
1994, the new Shanghai University was established, and the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Shanghai University was established, with Jiang as the dean.
He died in Shanghai at 9: 00 am on August 1 2065438 at the age of 9 1.
Major achievements
achievements in scientific research
In 1954, Jiang proposed and proved that fluoroolefins react with each other to form b- thiolactone, thus inventing a useful organic reaction. After returning to China, he led the research of various fluororubbers and fluoroplastics, and made contributions to military and civilian use. 1978, a physical organic chemistry laboratory was established in China, and great achievements have been made in organic fluorine chemistry, free radical chemistry, single electron transfer and halophilic reaction, structure-activity relationship, exploration of new reaction mechanism, solvent and microenvironment effect, hydrophobic and lipophilic effect, etc. In particular, it has made important contributions to the study of clusters and self-winding of organic molecules and the establishment and application of substituent parameter S in free radical chemistry.
Up to August 20 17, Jiang has published more than 200 papers in domestic and foreign academic journals, with academic monographs 1 department.
Up to August 20 17, Jiang presided over the first to fifth national academic conference on physical organic chemistry, and carried out international cooperation and exchanges. Long-term service to international academic groups, invited to give invited reports and lectures in dozens of universities and research institutions around the world 120 times.
personnel training
Jiang has high hopes for the younger generation: life is blooming, and former sprinters must give up their leading position to young people. When he chooses his disciples, he always takes virtue as the foundation of his life. He criticizes students to their faces and never speaks ill of others behind their backs.
Jiang's disciples like to use one word best: dare. Do not blindly believe in authority, dare to innovate, dare to uphold scientific truth, and dare to deny yourself. My heart is full of integrity. Being a real person, telling the truth and engaging in science are also for the pursuit of truth.
Jiang said: "When choosing a topic, I made my own decision, and I was not bound by any production or interests." He believes that the difference between humans and animals lies in curiosity and love of beauty, which is also the driving force of basic scientific research. It is very short-sighted to emphasize that basic research must be linked with application or benefit. Driven by the instinct of pursuing truth, goodness and beauty, people are obsessed with the research of basic science, and their innovative scientific theories and methods can be applied to practice if they can be applied to other disciplines or fields.
By the end of 2065438+August 2007, Jiang has trained more than 50 masters, doctors and postdoctoral students, and has won many excellent graduate tutors from Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Honor recognition
social service
Jiang served as a member of the sixth, seventh and eighth sessions.
Personal life
Jiang's great-grandfather Jiang became rich in the late Qing Dynasty, making Jiangmen a rare noble family in Nanjing at that time. Jiang's father, Jiang Guobang, is an accomplished scholar in Chinese studies, and his mother, Feng, is a teacher in Zhejiang Women's Normal School. Jiang received a good education from an early age because of his excellent family background and scholarly family.
During the "Cultural Revolution", he suffered both mental and physical torture. Because he was forced to put a heavy weight around his neck for a long time, his cervical vertebra was seriously injured, which made it more and more difficult for him to walk in his later years and eventually lost his walking ability. In September 2009, 83-year-old Jiang was admitted to East China Hospital due to illness.
Personality assessment
Jiang is a famous physical organic chemist and organic fluorine chemist in China, and one of the founders of physical organic chemistry and organic fluorine chemistry in China. Mr. Wang has an infinite love for the motherland and scientific career all his life, and advocates and insists on "putting morality first and having both ability and political integrity". His hard work, independent innovation, pragmatism, modesty and preciseness have made important contributions to the creation and development of chemistry in China, especially organic fluorine chemistry and physical organic chemistry, and to the construction and development of Shanghai Institute of Organic Science. His extraordinary performance and noble character won everyone's respect and love. Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
