Chapter 175 Conversation
Amid everyone's unfinished thoughts and unembarrassed praise, Shen Guanglin made a glorious exit.
He really doesn't need to act too anxious.
The initiative is in your own hands, after all, it is a rare commodity.
Chiral catalysis has always been a hot topic of the times. The heat value has been as high as 99 for a long time, and it is only one degree away from reaching the boiling point.
Researchers are so alarmed that any opportunity can cause a volcano to erupt.
As for the research on chiral catalysis, no matter what point in time, as long as there is a big progress, it is almost a global focus event.
The two core areas of chiral catalysis are chiral ligands and chiral catalysts.
In later generations, some people summarized and organized the process of chiral catalysis.
In fact, chiral catalysis can be roughly divided into 8 types in terms of working mechanism, and each has its own characteristics and far-reaching influence.
Takeda's own chemistry laboratory studies the complexes formed by NAP with the metals rhodium and ruthenium.
This is also one of the most influential catalytic methods in the world.
Even Noyori Ryoharu later won the Nobel Prize for it.
The hydrogenation reaction of NAP is actually a big research topic and can produce many good articles.
But for Shen Guanglin, it is difficult for him to conduct groundbreaking research in this area.
It’s not that he is incompetent, or that domestic researchers don’t work hard enough. In fact, rhodium and ruthenium are rare metals, extremely expensive, and of poor purity.
Many scientific researches are also limited by objective conditions.
For example, a very famous metal vitamin in later generations is called indium. In fact, it is an associated mineral of zinc. 70% of the world's indium is produced in China, but only foreign companies can actually process it.
Not to mention ballpoint pen refills, even the odorant added to natural gas, namely ethyl mercaptan, is actually imported.
Ethyl mercaptan is known as the smelliest substance, bar none.
When the air contains only one part per 50 billion of ethyl mercaptan, its odor can be smelled.
The structural formula of ethyl mercaptan is very simple, that is, the oxygen atoms in ethanol are replaced by sulfur.
It is not difficult to prepare it in the laboratory. It can be obtained by the reaction of thiourea and ethyl bromide.
But among the many domestic natural gas companies, none of them are willing to produce this thing.
This thing has been obtained in China by reacting sodium ethyl sulfate with sodium hydrosulfide.
But its shortcomings are also obvious: long lines, low yield, and high requirements for raw materials. For example, sodium ethyl sulfate is prepared with absolute ethanol and fuming sulfuric acid.
Ethyl mercaptan used for commercial purposes abroad is obtained by gas-phase catalytic reaction of ethanol and hydrogen sulfide under normal pressure. Moreover, the catalyst uses activated alumina as a carrier and is impregnated with tungstic acid or sodium tungstate.
If Shen Guanglin studied chemistry, he could cultivate a company with this production method.
Let’s talk about chiral catalysis.
To be honest, even Shen Guanglin is a little envious of Noyori Ryouji's work, but it is a pity that he came into contact with this field too late.
Until now, there are only a few leftovers in this field that have not been dealt with.
But I am not proficient in it, so I can only pretend to be sophisticated and fool around.
After all, NAP ligands can solve the problem of efficient and highly selective hydrogenation of simple aryl ketones, which is the most mainstream direction of chiral catalysis.
In a single practice, the TOF data of this catalyst is as high as 60 times/second, which means that one catalyst molecule can catalyze the conversion of 60 substrate molecules per second.
What a powerful catalytic method!
However, for chiral catalysis, there are too many hot spots to look for: metal complex chiral catalysis, biological chiral catalysis, organic small molecule chiral catalysis, supported homogeneous chiral catalysis, just pick one of these aspects, It can leverage a market size of billions.
There is no need to buy lottery tickets to make money by relying on prophets. As long as you are ahead of others, as long as you do not use the methods recorded in the criminal law, the money will come naturally.
Shen Guanglin feels that it is a bit difficult to climb the technology tree on his own, but he can also get some benefits from others by relying on deception.
In this way, Shen Guanglin gave Takeda an unfathomable and naive image.
What is unfathomable is his technical strength and genius sense of smell, and what is naive is his way of dealing with people and how he behaves.
This is the character Shen Guanglin created for himself. People who are too shrewd have no friends. The right shrewdness in the midst of mediocrity is the way to win.
Shen Guanglin dined at Takeda's employee cafeteria that day. He felt that he needed to study the company in depth.
Then, he accidentally met an old acquaintance, the inspection group from Jin City.
It is said that their affairs were not handled particularly smoothly, and I hope Teacher Shen can help and put in a good word.
Shen Guanglin did not care about this, but was thinking about how to publish his breakthrough in the nanometer field in the newspaper.
The newspaper with the largest circulation in Fuso is the Sankei Shimbun. This newspaper is very well-known, which is in line with Shen Guanglin's expectations.
If he wanted to publish an article in such a newspaper, he would have to wait at DJ.
It is estimated that Makoto Kobayashi will not be able to help much in this matter, and in the end it will fall to Takeda to seek a breakthrough.
Shen Guanglin goes to Mu Tang every day to play music and dance.
Xiao Lincheng and Li Li didn't even have time to look for him, but someone came to the office and said they wanted to invite him as a guest.
The second brother was picked up by the senior secretary of the office. When Shen Guanglin got in the car, he discovered that there was another person sitting in the back seat.
What a coincidence, this person Shen Guanglin knows, he is the team leader of the pharmaceutical company.
"Xiao Shen, hello, Professor Shen, we meet again. I am from Qin, and Qin Bufan is the deputy director of the Third Pharmaceutical Factory in Tianjin." The other party finally introduced himself.
He is also a familiar character, walking and talking all the time.
Basically, they hope that Shen Guanglin can facilitate negotiations, otherwise they will be in trouble when they return to China.
Shen Guanglin didn't promise anything. He didn't even know what they wanted from him.
"Mr. Shen didn't go to the office as a guest last time when he came to DJ. The leader really wanted to get to know you, so he specially told us to come to invite you, and the office is making dumplings."
Making dumplings is the most economical way to entertain guests from home.
But the secretary added drama to herself and made herself feel very touched. It is rare to eat authentic dumplings in a foreign country.
"Oh, if you had told me earlier, I would have brought some for you. When I came from the capital the day before yesterday, I ate dumplings stuffed with beef. They tasted pretty good."
Shen Guanglin smiled, they were the only ones with more emotions.
I just came back from China, how could I miss the taste of my hometown? I am not an international student who avoids oil smoke all year round.
The car got onto the main road, merged into the traffic flow, and soon arrived at the office.
The director of the office was waiting for them at the gate.
This is also the credit of the driver. He knew the code word and pressed the horn in advance.
In the office, the leader said a little seriously, "Comrade Shen Guanglin, we have something to ask you."
"Please tell me." Shen Guanglin looked at this formation, a little confused.
Leader Qin coughed and asked, "Should I avoid it?"
"No need, just listen to it and correct it if there is any. If it doesn't, you will be crowned."
