Why
do you think your paper is highly cited?
It presents a novel and very useful approach for spectroscopy
chemists, e.g. in aspects of trace analysis and characterization of
a complex.
Does
it describe a new discovery or new methodology that's useful to
others?
It describes a new methodology.
Could
you summarize the significance of your paper in layman's terms?
The MPASC method described in Analyst uses a simple
spectrophotometric method as a cheap device to carry out the
determination and accurate analysis of the interaction among
molecules. Molecular interaction includes not only chemical bond
links themselves but also non-chemical bond linking which exists
widely in a diluted solution, e.g. biological cells and wastewater.
Thus, the environmental effect often destroys the linking
interaction. This new method tries to analyze and answer this
problem. As a result, it is potentially useful in the molecular
design of new medicines, as well as in the separation of a poison
from a biological body and in the biotreatment of a pollutant in
wastewater.
How
did you become involved in this research?
In fact, my research work began in 1991. From that time to the
present, my laboratory working conditions are always very hard and
my research funding has also been extremely limited. In order to
achieve results, I must divert and spend a portion of my own wages
(which are only equivalent to about 200 USD per month) to purchase
items such as chemical reagents and small devices for timely
experiments and also to pay the cost of the papers' printed page
fee. During the past 12 years, my 300 articles have been published
in our national scientific journals as well as in many international
journals. At present, I still dedicate my time to spectrometric
research both day and night. I would never stop even if my father,
wife, and daughters were ill.
