From December 9 to 13, 2024, Prof. Fang Yu, Prof. Liu Jing, Prof. Bian Hongtao and Prof. Ma Jiani from the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials attended the 12th Singapore International Chemistry Conference (SICC-12).

At the conference, Prof. Fang Yu was invited to give a keynote report titled “Adlayer Structure Innovation and Film-based Fluorescent Sensors”, introducing the latest research progress of his group in the field of film fluorescent sensors, which was highly evaluated by the experts attending the conference. Fang Group’s research results, especially the film fluorescent sensing technology and the application of gas sensor diaphragm materials, also aroused the strong interest of representatives from the corporate sector.

Prof. Liu Jing gave an invited report titled “Regulation of the Switchable Luminescence of Platinum(II) Complexes by Controlling the Assembly Process”, Prof. Bian Hongtao gave an invited report titled “Anion Recognition by Macrocyclic Receptors Investigated by Ultrafast IR Spectroscopy”, and Prof. Ma Jiani gave an invited report titled “Fabricating Film-based Emissive Materials Based on Excited State Charge Transfer Processes”.

Organized by the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC) and themed “Building Chemistry: Bridging Disciplines”, the conference set up a total of 24 symposia covering organic, inorganic and materials chemistry, attracting more than 2,000 experts and scholars from all over the world to discuss the latest development of chemical science, technological innovation and prospects for industrialization.

During the conference, Prof. Fang Yu, Prof. Liu Jing, Prof. Bian Hongtao and Prof. Ma Jiani had in-depth exchanges with many international counterparts and explored the direction of future cooperation.
