Hong Maochun, born in September 1953, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician of TWAS, graduated from the Fuzhou University in 1978 and received his M.S. degree from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1981. In 1985-1987, he was a research fellow at Department of Chemistry of the Michigan University and the Illinois University at Chicago in the United States. Since 1994, he has been full professor of Chemistry at the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences. During this period, he worked as a JSPS visiting professor in Japan in 1998, and holds his Ph.D degree from Nagoya University. He was promoted the director of the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2002.
His research interests are focused on new materials and devices, inorganic functional materials and inorganicorganic hybrid functional materials. In the early 1990s, Prof. Hong has conducted the pioneer work to apply coordination chemistry in crystal engineering. He has successfully utilized the functional building units to synthesize the designed target crystalline materials. One of his fantastic works is the synthesis of metallic graphitelike materials in which the carbon sites in graphite have been replaced by metal atoms that are organized in a hexagonal planar array motif via conjugation interactions. These novel materials exhibit fairly good semiconducting behaviors. His creative work led to successful preparation of new kinds of nanoclusters, metalgraphite polymers, inorganic and organic polymers with nanocavities. These studies could open up promising lines allowing the developments of nanodevices.
With strong abilities in structure design and rational synthesis, Prof. Hong has been able to resolve the worldwide common key problems that restrict the development of the optoelectronic crystalline material industry and technology. He has developed several novel optoelectronic crystals, made breakthroughs of the key engineering techniques on several largesized, high quality optoelectronic crystals.
Prof. Hong has published more than 300 papers in international journals. He is now the associate editor of an international journal Crystal Growth & Design, and editoral board members of Chem. Record, Inorg. Chem. Commun.,Inorg. Chim. Acta, Science China, Chem., etc. As the first author, he has won the second award of CAS Natural Science in 2000，the first award of CAS Natural Science in 2001, the second award of National Natural Science in 2002, the special award of Fujian Province Natural Science in 2006, and the first award of Fujian Province Natural Science in 2007.
