Contribute to a new themed collection in Nanoscale Advances

We are delighted to announce an open call for papers to our new themed collection focusing on supramolecular chirality in self-organised systems and thin films.

Guest Editors: Professor Ludovico Valli, Professor Simona Bettini, and Professor Gabriele Giancane, all from University of Salento, Italy.

This collection aims to investigate the fascinating world of chiral self-organisation and its applications in various scientific fields. The collection explores the fundamental principles, theoretical models, and experimental techniques that contribute to the understanding of supramolecular chirality in self-organised systems and thin films and aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current advancements and future prospects in this exciting field. Potential topics of this collection include but are not limited to:

• Aggregation
• Asymmetric synthesis
• Asymmetry
• Bio-applications of chiral structures
• Chiral detection
• Chiral medicines
• Chirality
• Chirality in everyday life: communications, cosmetics, fragrances, odours, tastes
• Chiroptical spectroscopies
• Host-guest recognition
• Non-covalent interactions
• Opto-electronic applications of chiral structures
• Separation of enantiomers
• Supramolecular chemistry
• Supramolecular chirality
• Theoretical features of chirality
• Thin films of chiral substances: fabrication, characterization, and applications.

You are invited to submit any time before 31 July 2024.

We are delighted to announce an open call for papers to our new themed collection focusing on Nanoclusters: From Theory to Application.

Guest Editors: Yi Gao (Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China), Daojian Cheng (Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China) and Zhigang Wang (Jilin University, China).

Nanoclusters are small-sized nanoparticles with unique and tunable properties depending on their sizes, structures and compositions. They have potential applications in various fields such as biomedicine, catalysis, energy and nanotechnology. This themed collection is intended to present the most recent developments in the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanoclusters in theoretical and experimental research. It will cover topics such as nanocluster stability, electronic structures, reactivity, magnetism, optical properties, alloying effects, self-assembly and functionalization. The collection will also highlight the challenges and opportunities for nanocluster research and development.

You are welcome to submit an original research article within the scope before 31 October 2023.
