Poster prize winners at The 2nd ICSU/IUPAC Workshop

02 Nov 2015

CrystEngComm would like to congratulate the following who were awarded poster prizes for their contributions at the 2nd ICSU/IUPAC Workshop on Crystal Engineering which took place in Como, Italy from the 30^thAugust – 1^stSeptember 2015.

Vijith Kumar (Politecnico di Milano, Italy): ‘Dynamic Separation of Homologous Dicarboxylic Acids by Nonporous Organic Solids’
Hannes Kulla (BAM, Germany): ‘Direct in Situ Analysis of Milling Reactions using Synchrotron XRD and Raman Spectroscopy’
Luca Catalano (Politecnico di Milano, Italy): ‘Modular Preparation and Dynamic Characterization of Halogen-Bonded Crystalline Molecular Rotors’
Davide Capucci (University of Parma, Italy): ‘Stabilization of Drug Molecules Through Co-Crystallization and Their Solubility Properties’

Participation at the workshop was free and and consisted of invited lectures by internationally renowned leaders in the field with plenty of opportunities for young scientists’ networking with both peers and recognized leaders in the field.

Further details about the event can be found on the website.

SPP 1415 Kristalline Nichtgleichgewichtsphasen – Theorie und Experiment (Nonequilibrium crystalline phases – theory and experiment)

10 Oct 2012

Professor Josef Breu awarding Miss Iryna Andrusenko the CrystEngComm poster prize

Congratulations to Miss Iryna Andrusenko, University of Mainz, the winner of the CrystEngComm Poster Prize at the recent ‘Kristalline Nichtgleichgewichtsphasen – Theorie und Experiment’.

Iryna’s poster, titled ‘Importance of Understanding the Vaterite Structure’ is based on her research into a polymorph of calcium carbonate, Vaterite.

Well done Iryna, I hope you enjoy your copy of Science of Ice Cream!

Poster prizes at IUCr Congress 2011

30 Sep 2011

Congratulations to Sajesh Thomas from Bangalore, India and Christophe Vande Velde based in Antwerp in Belgium, recent winners of the CrystEngComm poster prizes at the IUCr Congress in Madrid which took place from the 22-30 August this year.

The prizes were presented to Sajesh and Christophe by CrystEngComm Advisory Board member Catalina Ruiz Perez. The winners each received an RSC book, a subscription to CrystEngComm and a CrystEngComm poster prize certificate.

Sajesh’s poster was entitled ‘Observation of a Conserved ‘Selenium Bond Synthon’ Involving Se…O Interaction’ and Christophe presented a poster on ‘Non-centrosymmetric Molecules – Centrosymmetric Structure?’

I was also in attendance at this busy meeting packed with excellent posters and talks on a huge range of topics from the field of crystal engineering and crystallography. I had a fantastic time at this well organised congress and arrived back with some IUCr mugs to remind me of the conference! CrystEngComm Webwriter Claire Murray was also in beautiful Madrid at the event so look out for her report on her congress experience – coming soon to the CrystEngComm blog……

Midwest Organic Solid-State Chemistry Symposium XXI

22 Jun 2011

The 21^st Midwest Organic Solid-State Chemistry Symposium (MOSSCS) was held this past June 10-11, 2011 at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston Illinois. The origins of this meeting date back to Professor David Curtin’s retirement (Univ. of Illinois) in 1998 that has since rotated among a cohort of universities in the Midwestern United States. MOSSCS meetings provide a mechanism for emerging research scientist (undergraduate and graduate students, and postdocs) working in solid-state chemistry with an opportunity to showcase their work and become aware of the activities of other research groups.

Prashant Chopade, CrystEngComm prize winner

While all topics related to organic solid state chemistry are welcomed, this year’s meeting consisted of 27 talks centered on crystal transformations, glass solids, polymorphism, energetic materials, pharmaceuticals, and molecular recognition. The keynote speakers, Lian Yu (Univ. of Wisconsin) and Joe Lauher (Stoney Brook Univ.), and each of the conference presenters, provided extensive insight and stimulating discussion of the current challenges and trends in solid-state materials. In addition to the interchange of inspiring science, each MOSSCS meeting highlights the best student presentation. This year’s award winner was Mr Prashant Chopade from Kansas State University.

Check out Prashant’s research in his recent paper published in ChemComm:

Facile synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of hydrogen bond/halogen bond-driven multi-tasking tectons
Christer B. Aakeröy, Prashant D. Chopade, Claudia Ganser and John Desper
Chem. Commun., 2011, 47, 4688-4690 DOI: 10.1039/C1CC10436E
