A PCCP Themed Collection, now open for Submissions – “Stability and properties of new-generation metal and metal-oxide clusters down to the subnanometer scale: synthesis, experimental characterization, and theory”

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics is delighted to announce a call for papers for its latest themed collection on “Stability and properties of new-generation metal and metal-oxide clusters down to the subnanometer scale: synthesis, experimental characterization, and theory” to be promoted in 2022.

Guest Edited by: María Pilar de Lara-Castells (Institute of Fundamental Physics (CSIC)), Cristina Puzzarini (University of Bologna), Vlasta Bonačić-Koutecký (Humboldt University of Berlin), Stefan Vajda (Czech Academy of Sciences) and M. Arturo López-Quintela (University of Santiago de Compostela)

This collection will be devoted to the latest advances in the field of metal and metal-oxide clusters. Recent joint theoretical-experimental research has shown that subnanometer-sized metal clusters, and more generally atomically precise clusters or even single atoms, possess special chemical and physical properties due to singular quantum effects, making them innovative materials for applications including luminescence, sensing, bioimaging, theranostics, energy conversion, catalysis, and photocatalysis. This themed collection is driven by the conviction that further steps in shaping this modern field require a tight collaboration between experimentalists with a deep and broad expertise and theoreticians working on suitable models of both unsupported (in air, solution, or biologically relevant environments) and surface-supported metal and metal oxide clusters. For this reason, a special emphasis will be given to the interplay between experiment and theory. The themed collection is intended to bring together theory (including first-principles approaches combining DFT-based and high-level ab initio theories), fundamental-oriented research in vacuum attached to rare gas clusters, in particular helium nanodroplets, as well as hydrocarbon, metallic and inorganic clusters produced at low temperatures with the focus on their formation, stability, interaction with liquid helium environments, and reactivity at astrophysically relevant conditions. In addition, the collection includes the most applied-oriented research of metal and metal oxide clusters in solution, covering nano- and subnanometer ranges.

This call for papers is open for the following article types:

·       Communications

·       Full papers

·       Reviews and Perspectives

 

Open for Submissions until 31st July 2022

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article now, directly through the journal’s online submission service at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pccp. Please answer the themed collection question in the submission form when uploading your files to say that this is a contribution to the themed collection and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of both the journal and the collection, and inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed issue is not guaranteed.

Submissions to the journal should include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Please see the journal’s website for more information on the journal’s scope, standards, article types and author guidelines.

With best wishes,

The Guest Editors

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.
