Professional Profile
Education
Ph.D. Candidate: Beijing Normal University, Organic Chemistry (2019.09 – present)- *Master’s Degree*: Northwest Normal University, Organic Chemistry (2016.09 – 2019.06)- *Bachelor’s Degree*: Gansu Minzu Normal College, Chemistry (2012.09 – 2016.06). During his master’s studies, Fan developed novel functional organic supramolecular systems, focusing on supramolecular organic frameworks, hydrogels, and chemical sensors. His Ph.D. research concentrates on the development of π-conjugated macrocycles and innovative chiral organic supramolecular systems. During his master’s studies, Fan began specializing in supramolecular chemistry. His thesis focused on the design and synthesis of novel functional supramolecular structures with an emphasis on host–guest chemistry and molecular recognition. He developed skills in complex molecular synthesis, NMR characterization, and analysis of supramolecular assemblies.
Experience
Fan has extensive research experience in supramolecular chemistry, with a strong background in organic synthesis and characterization. He has worked on various projects, including the development of novel supramolecular organic frameworks and chemical sensors. Fan’s research experience has equipped him with expertise in handling complex chemical systems and analyzing their properties. At Beijing Normal University, Fan has been involved in cutting-edge research projects related to supramolecular chemistry and functional organic materials. He has synthesized complex π-conjugated macrocycles, studied their electronic and optical behavior, and investigated their host–guest properties.

Research Focus
Yanqing Fan’s research lies at the intersection of organic chemistry and supramolecular science. His primary focus is on the design and synthesis of novel π-conjugated macrocycles and chiral supramolecular systems. These molecular architectures are designed with precise geometries and functional groups to facilitate strong non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and host–guest interactions.
One of the central goals of Fan’s research is to develop supramolecular materials that demonstrate unique electronic, optical, and chiroptical properties. His π-conjugated macrocycles exhibit tunable photophysical behavior, making them promising candidates for organic electronics, light-emitting devices, and molecular sensors. He also works on integrating chirality into supramolecular systems to explore enantioselective recognition, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), and asymmetric catalysis.
