Special attention has been paid to the research about photodynamic therapy. The progress of photodynamic sensitizers, including the molecular chemical modification, mechanism and their targets were summarized. The future research directions for photodynamic therapy were also discussed.

This paper analyzed the principle of photocatalytic reaction, the crystal structure of photocatalyst TiO₂ and main problems of photocatalytic technology. These problems were as follows:the low quantum efficiency, the narrow spectral response range, the difficulty of photocatalyst separation and recovery, the low transmittance of high concentration wastewater, and the photocatalyst deactivation. The research status of photocatalyst was briefly introduced also.

In order to cultivate students' research thinking and innovative consciousness, the seminar teaching method was applied to the course of membrane science and technology. In the teaching method, the curriculum knowledge was gradually introduced, deepened and practiced by setting questions at different levels. Research skills training and the innovation experiment program for university students were involved in the teaching contents. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness emphasized the students' participation in class discussion and their performance of seminar presentation. In the whole teaching process, students' ability to think independently was enhanced and their research skills were trained, giving excellent teaching results.

This paper discussed a student-centered interactive teaching mode of organic chemistry course, which included three areas, the student-led teaching for selected topics, the student-teaching evaluation system, and the online student-collaboration group. The implementations and advantages of these approaches were discussed in detail. The results showed that the interactive teaching approach not only inspired the student learning interests and improve their test scores, but also improved their comprehensive ability.

1,4-Dimethoxypillar[5]arene (DMP[5]) was synthesized and the inclusion interactions with 1,6-diaminohexane were studied by NMR titration. The results showed that DMP[5]and 1,6-diaminohexane form a 1:1 complex with an association constant of 49 L/mol, which was calculated by DynaFit. As an organic chemistry experiment for undergraduate students, it may help students learn the leading edge of supramolecular chemistry, stimulate interests and improve the comprehensive ability.

The environmentally-benign and inexpensive FeCl₃-catalyzed H₂O₂-oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde in water at room temperature is a representative method for the alcohol oxidation. Moreover, this in-situ generated catalyst displayed the high catalytic activity and selectivity.In such a reaction, the over-oxidation of the product to benzoic acid did not occur.

During the past decades, independent operation and finishing experiments alone have been accentuated excessively in teaching labs in China, which partly overlooked the organization and effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies. One collaborating learning format is role-playing, which is a tool that allows the students act out real situations, providing practitioners with training in ethics, cooperation competency, communication skills, and so on. The effectiveness of role-playing depends largely on context and execution, and so this article presented a model how to maximize the utility and benefits of role-playing to enhance the performance of experiment teaching. In this pedagogical approach, students assumed roles (manager, or chemist, or analyst) in a "company". Each person played a different role in each experiment, filling each role several times during the rotation.

In view of the objective problems existing in teaching experimental technology of basic chemistry in higher vocational education, the microlecture was introduced into the traditional teaching. This paper introduced the application of microlecture in the course of "experimental technology of medicinal chemistry", and explained the design ideas of the course with "preparation and calibration of EDTA standard solution and determination of calcium gluconate" as an example. Teaching results showed that students could quickly grasp the learning methods, clarify the learning contents, enhance self-confidence, and truly realize "I love learning".

With the rapid development of vocational education, the transformation of higher vocational colleges is imperative. In this paper, the enterprise management mode was applied to the classroom management and analyzed from three aspects about concept change, role transition and system transition. In organic chemistry course, the effects of the enterprise classroom management mode were objectively and scientifically evaluated by using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the enterprise classroom management mode can well adapt to the needs of the development of vocational colleges transformation, which has a certain reference value for the teaching reform.

In this paper, the reformation of teaching mode in basic medical chemistry experiment is exemplified through determination of the formula and the stable constant of an Iron (III)-sulfosalicylate complex. Students' participation in the whole process of preparation and teaching is demonstrated by the strengthening of the teaching staff and the application of open laboratories. Their consciousness of problems and ability of inquiry can be trained when some details are focused to guide students to discover the drawbacks of using HClO₄ in the current textbook, then to analyze and find the possibility of using HNO₃ instead of HClO₄, and finally to solve the problem by experiments. Thus, students' innovative abilities can be fostered with the teaching purpose achieved.

General chemistry course plays an important role in petroleum engineering undergraduate teaching. This paper discussed the educational methods of general chemistry taking "aqueous solution chemistry" as an example. Firstly, the teachers must establish complete knowledge system, and constantly apply it in each chapter, it would reinforce and extend students understanding of theories. Secondly, the theory teaching must be closely linked to the professional background of petroleum engineering, it would help students learn to analyze engineering questions with chemistry angle. The reform of teaching should be aimed at improving students' learning interests and ability to solve problems. The vivid teaching form and multi-angle examination have been proved to be an effective way to achieve this goal.

This paper introduced an experiment of the Dawson-type polyoxometalate K₆[P₂W₁₈O₆₂]·14H₂O, which was synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, UV-vis spectrum, and Cyclic Voltage. This experiment not only had a classical preparation method and the material with excellent electrochromic property, but also integrated study method, preparation, testing, data analysis and other training into the polyoxometalate course, which indicated that it was an effective way for enhancing inorganic chemistry graduate students' qualities.

The characteristics and the importance of the course design for principles of chemical engineering were introduced. Application of the process simulation software Aspen Plus in teaching of the course design was explained by an example. DSTWU model was used for short-cut method for design calculation, sensitivity analysis was used for optimization process, RadFrac model was used for strict rectifying calculation, tray or packing sizing and rating. The result was compared with that of manual calculation. Practical experience showed that the teaching approach of the combination of process simulation software and traditional course design extended the subjects scope, enhanced efficiency and quality of the course design, strengthened engineering consciousness of the students, and improved the teaching quality.

With the development and application of sophisticated analytical instruments in the chemistry frontier, the chemical analysis of organic chemicals has fallen down to ground in the recent decades. However, due to the low cost and widely accessibility, the chemical analysis should still be able to play some roles in the quantitative or qualitative analysis of organic compounds. This paper started from the introduction of typical chemical analysis methods, followed by the summarization of different group of organic compounds, and the discussion of some complicated or misunderstood methods, as nihydrin test, Fehling & Benedict tests.
