PCCP Themed Issue: Weak Hydrogen Bonds – Strong Effects?

13 Oct 2010

Call for papers: Weak Hydrogen Bonds – Strong Effects?

Deadline for Submission: 08 March 2011

A wide variety of weak hydrogen bonds at the limit of the classical definition play a very decisive role in the physico-chemical properties of molecular assemblies. In contrast to classical hydrogen bonds, the modeling of weak hydrogen bonds remains in its infancy, because it requires very high level electronic structure calculations and involves subtle influences of the environment and thermal excitation. A range of spectroscopic and other physico-chemical techniques have to be combined to make significant progress.

The themed issue will be published in PCCP in summer 2011 and will be displayed at relevant international conferences to maximise the visibility of the work published, including the XIX Congress on “Horizons in Hydrogen Bond Research” to be held in Göttingen in September 2011.

Submissions should be high quality manuscripts of original, unpublished research.

Both Communications and Full Papers can be submitted for consideration, which will be subject to rigorous peer review.

Please indicate upon submission that your manuscript is intended for this themed issue.

Pass this invitation on to any relevant colleagues!

Coherence and Control – extended oral abstract deadline

04 Oct 2010

Faraday Discussion 153: Coherence and Control in Chemistry
25 – 27 July 2011 Leeds, UK

***Extended oral abstracts deadline: 15th October 2010 – submit your abstract for oral presentation today***

This meeting will bring together experimentalists and theoreticians working in all areas of physics and chemistry who have an interest in probing and controlling chemical interactions at the quantum resolved level with the aim of defining the future challenges in the field of molecular reaction dynamics and coherent control.

See the Faraday Discussions Blog for more information.

SERS and SHINERS @ ISE 2010

28 Sep 2010

After a great first day, ISE 2010 continues to host a vast array of top-quality electrochemistry.

This morning I heard a very interesting talk by Zhong-Qun Tian, PCCP Advisory Board member, on shelled-nanoparticle-based SERS. Shell-insulated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy, or ‘SHINERS’, is a new technique which Tian is developing, which overcomes many of the drawbacks encountered with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS).

Read some recent PCCP Perspective review articles in this area:

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and high-resolution bio nano-analysis—a comparison
Tanja Deckert-Gaudig and Volker Deckert
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2010, 12, 12040-12049

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of dyes: from single molecules to the artists’ canvas
Kristin L. Wustholz, Christa L. Brosseau, Francesca Casadio and Richard P. Van Duyne
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2009, 11, 7350-7359

A perspective on single molecule SERS: current status and future challenges
P. G. Etchegoin and E. C. Le Ru
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 6079-6089

Also, view the PCCP themed issue on SERS for more great research in this area.

ISE 2010 – off to a great start!

27 Sep 2010

Greetings from the 61st Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electochemistry (ISE 2010) in Nice, France!

So far the conference has got off to a great start. It began this morning with a very warm welcome from ISE President, Rob Hillman, who is also on the PCCP Advisory Board. Rob highlighted the broad and multi-disciplinary scope of this year’s conference ‘Electrochemistry from Biology to Physics’.

This morning saw a focus on bioelectrochemistry, with oral presentations from many of the authors from PCCP’s recently published themed issue on bioelectrochemistry. These included Phil Bartlett, Ernesto Julio Calvo, Elana Ferapontova and also one of the Guest Editors of the issue, Nicolas Mano from Bordeaux. View this great issue here. One hot topic that’s come up a lot already this morning is enzyme based biofuel cells.

Watch out for more updates from ISE 2010…
