Does the Frontiers of Chemistry Only Mean Biochemistry

Does the Frontiers of Chemistry Only Mean Biochemistry?
In recent years, biochemistry research is indeed very active, and many branches of chemistry are
trying to mimic biological systems. Because it is easy to think that the organism is a natural for
mass scientists to establish a model. Biological reaction and various self-organization phenomena
have been in coordinated status with excellent efficiency, as well as mild conditions with protein
moiety.
In fact, copying nature’s design concept is relatively easy, so no matter the catalysis, synthetic
materials, or drugs needs to wonder how to achieve the design level of nature. However, for any
fields, people can only describe the existing situation, and can not predict future development. The
so-called bottlenecks and limitations for academic genius is to get the opportunity for a
breakthrough. Current inactive state does not mean that the future is not active, it is not the
conclusion for the forefront of chemical research trends. In terms of inorganic chemistry, it is more
complicated.
From the literal aspects, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry should be the opposite. It
should be an inorganic research subject. But as long to double inorganic chemistry textbooks, it
usually contain a combination of some or all of the following contents: early chemical phenomena
and theoretical knowledge elements, based on Quantum Chemical thermodynamics and complex
theory (actually a quantum chemistry application).
Therefore, the knowledge structure of inorganic chemistry is almost the least of the four chemical
inside the system, including research in sodium olivate. From the research trend, at present even
the inorganic chemistry research group might focus less on inorganic materials research. There are
two main reasons for the situation.
From the experimental level, organic chemistry can provide a better chance for inorganic chemists
to learn many things. An organic chemist at the compound and the functional group modification
has accumulated a wealth of experience. Nature has hinted that carbon compounds are the best
choice for building a variety of structural elements, so for inorganic chemists, more convenient
research idea in the use of organic chemistry is applying existed skills and methods of synthesis of
organic compounds, combined with other interaction and inorganic materials (such as metal ions,
etc.). And because organic compounds’ easy modification characteristics, it is relatively easy to
change the nature of these new compounds.
From the theoretical level, almost the basis of all the chemical theories is quantum mechanics with
statistical mechanics. Thus, it is significant to understand the existing theories of inorganic
chemistry or the creation of a new theory. Finding the theory at the level of quantum mechanics or
statistical mechanics interpretation is a must. For inorganic chemists, what they can do is to apply
quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics into the study of inorganic chemistry. Main
chemicals like tin iv sulfate might require further focus.
In conclusion, the status for current inorganic chemistry is to learn from the experience level of

organic and biological systems; the theoretical level is dependent on quantum mechanics and
statistical mechanics, which might lack of disciplines independence. But there is no doubt that
inorganic chemistry is still in advance process.
