Resolutely return to China
In the winter of 1945, at the age of 30, Lu Jiaxi returned to China with enthusiasm of "saving the country through science" and was employed by his alma materXiamen UniversityProfessor and Head of the Department of Chemistry.
After 1950, Lu Jiaxi successively held the posts of Dean, Vice Dean, Vice Minister of Research Department, Minister, Assistant President and Vice President of the School of Science of Xiamen University, and began to train graduate students.He has a set of advanced experience in running schools and educational ideas. With his efforts, Xiamen University is no longer solely due to the Department of Economics（Wang YananFounded by the president), and became famous for the rise of the Department of ChemistryNational key universitiesList.
In 1955, he was electedChinese Academy of SciencesMember of the Ministry of Chemistry (later renamed as Academician), who was appointed as a first-class professor by the Ministry of Higher Education in the same year, was the youngest member of the Ministry of Chemistry and one of the first-class professors in China at that time.

Scientific research achievements
Contributions to Structural Chemistry in China
At the end of the 1930s, Lu Jiaxi realized that the first development stage of physical chemistry, namely the thermodynamic stage, had reached perfection, and structural chemistry might become the second development stage, so he chose this discipline as the main direction of research.
Lu Jiaxi
stayCalifornia Institute of TechnologyLu Jiaxi participated in the research on the molecular structure of hydrogen peroxide.Lu Jiaxi and P.A. Giguere ingeniously used urea and hydrogen peroxide to generate urea hydrogen peroxide adduct connected by hydrogen bond, and cultivated the single crystal of this adduct.Interestingly, in this single crystal, hydrogen peroxide molecule does not undergo structural distortion due to the presence of urea molecule.Then, he cooperated with E.W. Hughes to complete the crystal structure determination, which confirmed the theoretical analysis of the molecular structure of hydrogen peroxide by W. Penny and G. Sutherland.
In 1943, he and J. Donohue studied the structure of sulfur nitrogen (S4N4), arsenic sulfur (As4S4) and other compounds by means of electron diffraction, and determined the eight membered ring configuration they called "cradle" shape[13]This research result was later confirmed by the crystal structure measurement carried out by Donoghue.The structure of these sulfur nitrogen non transition element cluster compounds has the feature of "multi center bond", which has aroused great interest of Lu Jiaxi, and is closely related to his later research on the active center model of nitrogenase.
In terms of structural analysis method, he proposed a polarization factor andLorentz The graphical method of factors became a relatively simple method widely used internationally at that time and was included in the International Mathematical Tables of Crystallography (second edition).
In the early 1960s, while founding the Fujian Institute of Material Structure, Lu Jiaxi organized and led the research on transition metal complexes and some clusters, sulfur nitrogen cluster compounds, new technology crystals and materials, and made some gratifying achievements, such as cooperation with the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences andShanghai Institute of Organic ChemistryWe cooperated to complete the determination of the spatial structure of trichosanthin, and established the first molecular model of ribose co active protein in the world.[3]
Exploiting the field of cluster chemistry in China
In 1978, Lu Jiaxi published the paper Structural Chemistry of Cluster Compounds at the annual meeting of the Chinese Chemical Society, which promoted the research in this field in China.His main achievements in chemical simulation of biological nitrogen fixation and transition metal cluster compounds are as follows:
1. Propose the structure model of nitrogenase active center
Lu Jiaxi
In the 1960s, the structural research and chemical simulation of the active center of nitrogenase was a very complex work. From the perspective of structural chemistry, Lu Jiaxi analyzed the unusual inertia of the double nitrogen molecule and the structural problem of strengthening the complexation and activation of nitrogen molecules, and proposed that the necessary conditions for complexing and activating nitrogen molecules were side group plus terminal group complexation, multinuclear clusters,It has a variable alternative oxidation state and a suitable spatial structure.Therefore, the structure of the active center of nitrogenase must be a multinuclear cluster with a net like configuration that can realize the complexation of end groups and side groups.On this basis, a preliminary model of the active center structure of nitrogenase, Fuzhou Model I, is proposed. It is a four core mesh like structure of MoFe3S3, which can realize the network type complex activation and reduction of nitrogen molecules. Department of Chemistry, Lanzhou UniversityHuang WenkuiFor this reason, the professor artificially synthesized a series of "G series" (G refers to Gansu Province, where Lanzhou University is located) chemical simulants, and then further evolved the twin double mesh Fuzhou model II.
The structural characteristics reflected in the model proposed by Lu Jiaxi were supported by the results of paramagnetism, Mossbauer spectrum and superfine surface structure analysis on the nitrogenase molybdenum ferritin and iron molybdenum cofactor.This model has been quoted many times by international peers in the paper, and appeared in the model proposed by other scientists later in the form of "M2S2" local structure.[3]
2. Assumption of "active element assembly"
Lu Jiaxi
When Lu Jiaxi summarized a large number of experimental facts about the synthesis reaction of aluminum iron sulfur clusters, he found that the triarylalkane like clusters often left reactants in the formation process of their "self pocket" reactionBasic unitIt is proposed that complex cluster compounds can be assembled from simpler cluster "elements" through activation into "active elements".According to the assumption of "active element assembly", it can be explained that the dimerization condensation of Lusen red salt anion [Fe2S2 (NO) 4] 2 - to produce Lusen black salt anion [Fe4S3 (NO) 7] -;The assembly pathway of producing the tetraferredoxin analog anion [Fe4S4 (SR)] from the dimer condensate of the diferoredoxin analog anion [Fe2S2 (SR)].Under the inspiration and guidance of this theoretical assumption, the Institute of Material Structure has synthesized many new types of cluster compounds of the type of triarylalkane.
For the synthesis and structure research of cluster compounds with two center double electron localized bonds, in order to predict and judge the formation of specific types of cluster compounds, the element assembly envisages to absorb and apply Hoffman's equal petal similarity principle, and extend it to the metal cluster compounds that meet 9N-L and the carbon alkane that meet 4n-e's equal petal similarity,In this way, organic alkanes and clusters can be linked from the perspective of equal petal similarity in Hoffmann structure to find their similarities in synthesis and structure, that is, to link complex cluster molecular fragments with known and possibly simpler organic fragments, so as to consciously and purposefully find the synthesis path of cluster fragments with specific structure.[3]
3. Research on the essence of "quasi aromaticity"
Lu Jiaxi
In 1986, Huang Jianzheng, a part-time researcher engaged in structural chemistry of molybdenum clusters in the Institute of Material Structure, proposed the concept of "benzene like aromaticity" by analogy with the similarity of some [MO3S4] 4+clusters and benzene in three reaction forms of substitution, addition and oxidation.Lu Jiaxi organized research forces and deepened and improved this concept theoretically through quantum chemical calculation and experimental research;It is pointed out that the [Mo3S3] nonplanar folded six membered ring in the [Mo3S4] 4+cluster has aromaticity, which extends one of the most important and basic traditional concepts in organic chemistry - aromaticity to transition metal cluster chemistry. Before that, the concept of aromaticity was only limited to benzene and some organic planar ring compounds,Lu Jiaxi and others extended the concept of aromaticity to the [Mo3S3] nonplanar folded six membered ring of [Mo3S4] 4+cluster compound, thereby extending the planar aromaticity to the three-dimensional aromaticity. At the same time, they revealed the bonding characteristics of the (d-P-d) three center bond double electron π bond conjugate system of [Mo3S3] nonplanar folded cluster ring in [Mo3S4] 4+cluster compound, and established the six membered cluster ring aromaticity and three center bond model.
The research on the essence of "aromaticity" has systematically and rationally understood the special reaction properties and physical properties of some transition metal clusters, which will be conducive to the new stage of molecular design in the synthesis of new clusters.[3]
Application of Structural Chemistry Theory in the Scientific Research of New Technology Crystal Materials
Lu Jiaxi was an early scientist who applied the theory of structural chemistry to the exploration of new technological crystal materialsNonlinear optical materialThe research on the structure-activity relationship also puts forward a series of useful insights and suggestions on the establishment of the anion group theory, and promotes the discovery of a series of new crystal materials.
Inscription by Lu Jiaxi
As early as 1861, the Russian chemist Butlerov proposed thatChemical structureThe scientific foresight of mutual influence and restriction with specific properties points out that the chemical structure of a substance determines all its properties;On the other hand, its chemical structure must be determined by all its properties.Lu Jiaxi believes that on the basis of the whole series of physical methods developed in modern times to determine the microstructure of various levels of matter, it can not only further advance the Brinell theory to a new stage of the relationship between microstructure and macro performance,It can even be developed to the updating stage of the relationship between the microstructure of some parts and some macro properties that are particularly sensitive to the changes of these parts' structures.Lu Jiaxi believes that it is possible to select certain types of macro properties that are particularly sensitive to the structural characteristics of certain parts as the research object of material science, so as to develop the "structural criteria" required by such properties for the corresponding part of the structure of materials, and even develop a new branch of material science.
In 1965, Lu Jiaxi supportedChen ChuangtianThe preliminary summary of the nonlinear optical material performance (especially the second harmonic generation and high harmonic generation performance, electro-optic modulation performance) is "structure sensitive" performance, and supports his choiceNonlinear optical crystalGroup theory and its structural criterion.This theoretical research was obtained in 1978National Science ConferenceAward for major scientific and technological achievements.The central issue of the research is which anion group is most favorable for generating large frequency doubling effect.Through many aspects of experimental exploration and theoretical analysis, the Institute of Material Structure quickly determined the main direction of the (B3O6) 3-group of borate system, and successively discovered and developed new types of nonlinear optical crystal materials such as barium metaborate (BBO) and lithium triborate (LBO) in 1984 and 1987.In addition, under the guidance of the "five fold double combination" and "structure sensitive" viewpoints advocated by Lu Jiaxi, the Institute has successfully developed several series of new crystal materials, including the development of a large-scale self activating laser crystal neodymium aluminum borate (NAB) that is internationally recognized as "extremely difficult" to growAnd the self frequency doubling laser crystal aluminum yttrium neodymium tetraborate (NYAB), which leads the world in green light output.[3]

In learning, my father is diligent and meticulous. He often says that learning is endless, and learning can be accomplished only through hard work and practice. He advocates reading, writing and practicing more, and he should be able to draw inferences from one instance when doing a question.My father's lectures are very interesting. He doesn't write detailed lesson plans. Sometimes he just writes the outline on the back of the calendar paper. When he plays in the classroom, he can make the boring chemistry class lively. The listeners never doze off.When he made a speech, the biggest classroom in the school was often not enough, and the door was crowded with people.(Comments on Lu Songyue, the eldest son of Lu Jiaxi）[5]
