Jinkui Tang received his Ph D degree in 2001 from Nankai University under the supervision of Prof. Dai-Zheng Liao and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Universität Karlsruhe (TH) in the research group of Prof. Annie K. Powell and Universiteit Leiden with Prof. Jan Reedijk, before initiating his independent career at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007. His current research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of new molecular magnetic materials (including single molecule-magnets and single-molecule toroics) based on highly anisotropic lanthanide ions. His work has resulted in about 150 peer-reviewed publications. Peng Zhang obtained his BSc in chemistry from Inner Mongolia University, China, in 2010. Now he is a Ph D student supervised by Prof. Jinkui Tang at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His current work focuses on lanthanide-based molecular magnetism.
