Non-traditional solvent effects in organic reactions themed collection of PCCP and OBC now online!

Non-traditional solvent effects in organic reactions themed collection of PCCP and OBC now online!

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) and Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) themed collection Non-traditional solvent effects in organic reactions is now online and free to access until the end of February 2022.

The scope of this collection covers all aspects of solvent effects on organic reactivity – from the physical underpinnings through to synthetic utility in the areas of preparative, physical organic, and computational chemistry. A broad range of non-traditional solvents are covered including supercritical fluids, superheated solvents, eutectic mixtures, and ionic liquids.

Guest Edited by Professor Jason Harper, Professor Barbara Kirchner, Professor Paulina Pavez and Professor Tom Welton.

PCCP Bunsentagung 2020: Understanding Dispersion Interactions in Molecular Chemistry themed collection now online!

PCCP Bunsentagung 2020: Understanding Dispersion Interactions in Molecular Chemistry themed collection now online!

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Bunsentagung 2020: Understanding Dispersion Interactions in Molecular Chemistry is now online and free to access until the end of August 2021.

Bunsentagung 2020 focuses on dispersion interactions and their multifold manifestations in chemistry. Dispersion is the driving force for molecular aggregation that plays a key role in the thermodynamic stability of (meta)stable structures, molecular recognition, chemical selectivity through transition-state stabilization, protein folding, enzyme catalysis, and many more. Despite the pioneering work of London and others in the 1930s, our understanding of dispersion interactions only recently has become much better.

Guest Edited by Professor Jürgen Janek, Professor Peter R. Schreiner and Professor Martin A. Suhm, this collection highlights the progress in a rapidly developing field encompassing both experiment and theory. We hope you enjoy reading the articles. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this themed collection or PCCP.

PCCP Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Storage themed collection now online!

PCCP Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Storage themed collection now online!

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Storage is now online and free to access until the end of June 2021.

Quantum computing and information storage promise to revolutionize our information technology. Some basic theory of quantum computing has been established over the past two decades and researchers are on the cusp of quantum supremacy for truly useful systems. Yet, for quantum computing to become a reality we need to find a practical physical platform for realizing qubits with enough fidelity and depth to solve important problems. At present it is not clear what platform will succeed at this.

Guest Edited by Professor John Doyle, Professor Anna Krylov and Professor Kang-Kuen Ni, this collection highlights physical chemistry and chemical physics aspects of quantum computing and quantum information storage. We hope you enjoy reading the articles. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this themed collection or PCCP.

Gordon F. Kirkbright and Edward Steers Bursary Awards, 2022

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientist of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning. The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general.

Owing to the generosity of one of our former trustees, an eminent atomic spectroscopist, Professor Edward B.M. Steers, we are now able to award an annual Edward Steers bursary, in addition to the long standing Gordon Kirkbright bursary, to similarly assist a promising early scientist engaged in or utilising analytical spectroscopic techniques.

The ABS Trust defines early career as being either a student, or an employee in a non-tenured academic post or in industry, within 7 years of award of PhD excluding career breaks. The same conditions apply to each bursary.

Applications are invited for both the 2022 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary and the 2022 Edward Steers Bursary.  Although both funds are administered by the ABS Trust, the Kirkbright award is not restricted to spectroscopists, but is open to all involved with or utilising analytical science-based techniques.

Application Forms can be downloaded via:

http://www.abstrust.org/kirkbright-and-steers-bursary-awards

or for further information visit:

http://www.abstrust.org/ or contact abstrustuk.kirkbright@gmail.com

 

The closing date for entries is 30 November 2021.

Quantum Theory: The Challenge of Transition Metal Complexes is now online and free to access until May 2021

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Quantum Theory: The Challenge of Transition Metal Complexes is now online and free to access until May 2021.

This collection aims at promoting the power of quantum theory at deciphering electronic structure, bonding, nuclear relaxation, (photo-) chemical reactivity, catalytic and enzymatic activities of transition metal complexes.

By exploring the intimacy of matter, particularly complex in coordination chemistry, quantum theory does not only provide accurate structural understanding but also in-depth knowledge of the processes that control primary functions, either at the molecular scale or in specific environments.

Guest Edited by Professor Chantal Daniel, Professor Leticia González and Professor Frank Neese, this collection contributes to stimulating discussions in the quest to find fundamental answers at the frontier between hard and life sciences involving transition metal complexes.

Techniques employing Synchrotron Radiation (SR) have had a transformative effect on catalytic science. The unique properties of SR have led to entirely new opportunities in diffraction, spectroscopy, small angle scattering and tomographical studies of catalytic materials. Moreover, SR has been crucial in enabling the growth of in situ experimental studies of catalytic processes under realistic operating conditions. The field impacts on all areas of catalytic science, including heterogeneous, homogeneous, biocatalysis and chemical engineering aspects.
