报告摘要：

Impurity is by no  means the most pleasant word one can find in a dictionary. As a discipline that  relies on pure specimens to establish fundamental principles, mechanisms, and  standards, chemistry does not particularly welcome impurities either. After all,  chemistry develops over time as various purification techniques evolve. However,  impurities have been playing an important role, occasionally indispensable, in  advancing chemistry, technology, and even everyone’s everyday life. This  presentation details selected intertwining stories between impurities and  ever-curious human beings, including the multi-faced role of impurities in  several historical moments of chemical discovery and the potential pitfalls they  can bring.

个人简介：

Xin Su received  his B.Sc. in chemistry from Nankai University, China, in 2009. He then moved to  the USA and conducted graduate research on hydrazone-based molecular switches  and functional materials at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA, where he  received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 2013. Following postdoctoral training  at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA, USA, he  worked as an associate editor for Wiley's materials science journals including  Advanced Materials in Hoboken, NJ, USA, from 2015 to 2017. After spending a year  at SpringerNature as a senior editor of Nature Chemistry, Xin joined the  editorial team of Angewandte Chemie in 2018, and became an executive editor of  the journal in October 2020.
