菲利普·鲍尔(Philip Ball)思考了很多理由来解释化学家们为何要合成分子,并权衡如若停止合成会带来的得与失。为什么化学家们要合成分子呢?明摆着(而且真实)的回答是:因为我们需要分子。这就是为什么化学合成仍然充满着活力,并将一如既往地为21世纪提供药物、材料以及商品。这些年年为大家带来福利。2015年,化学家们公开了一种全新的合成 Philip Ball considers many reasons to explain why chemists synthesize molecules and weigh the gains and losses if the synthesis is stopped. Why do chemists want to synthesize molecules? The obvious (and true) answer is: Because we need molecules. That is why chemical synthesis is still vibrant and will continue to provide medicines, materials and commodities for the 21st century. These years bring benefits to everyone. In 2015, chemists opened up a completely new synthesis
