He was Director of the Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica for nine years (1987-1996) and the President of the Chinese Chemical Society (1993-1994). Among his many successful activities were important contributions to the academic exchange between the Mainland China and Taiwan. In 1995, when I started the launch of Molecules, Professor Chou immediately installed the first website for this journal and for our international organization MDPI at .tw/chem/service /Mol/index.html at my request. This website is still active. He was a very supportive member of the editorial board and an enthusiastic author of the electronic journal Molecules, even when the publisher Springer Verlag suddenly terminated the publication contract and we decided to publish through MDPI itself. Thanks to Professor Chou and many other chemists support, Molecules has become a well-known international journal. All papers published since 1997 (vol. 2) have been indexed and abstracted by several leading indexing and abstracting services, including Chemical Abstracts; CAPLUS; Science Citation Index Expanded; SciSearch, Research Alert; Chemistry Citation Index; Current Contents/Physical, Chemi
