On May 21, 2024, Humboldt scholar Dr. Chang Xingmao, a 2019 PhD graduate of the Photonic Nose and Molecular Materials Group, was invited to give a report titled “(Supra) Molecular Multiple Radical Systems” for teachers and students of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials.

Dr. Chang Xingmao first introduced his main work during his post-doctoral program, explained the molecular multi-radical system and the importance of molecular quantum bits, and told the audience that the progress of accurate organic synthesis and supramolecules is required to achieve controlled two-spin interactions, from the construction of biradical systems with stable infrared emission to the study of the interaction between anthracene and copper porphyrin in multi-spin systems. Finally, Chang Xingmao shared his learning and research experience in Germany, reflected on the exchange of ideas in Chinese universities and forums, and encouraged students in the audience to persist in research through his own learning experience.

The report was chaired by Dr. Huang Rongrong. Teachers and students of the Institute and the Group attended the report and exchanged ideas with Dr. Chang.
