This month, Nanjing University, China hosted the 1st Chemical Science Symposium. Nine of the world’s leading scientists in organic materials and supramolecular chemistry presented their research over the course of the day. The morning was kick-started by Professor Colin Nuckolls, Associate Editor for Chemical Science, who spoke about his latest work on nanostructured carbon. Next to take the floor was Dr Scott Dalgarno who delivered his ChemComm Emerging Investigator award lecture on metal–organic calixarene assemblies. The day was rich with outstanding quality research and ranged from non-covalent supramolecular systems (Professor Bert Meijer) to artificial cellular organelles (Professor van Hest).
Chemical Science would like to say a big “thank you” to all of the speakers and local organisers, in particular Professors Wenbing Hu and Zijian Guo for all of their efforts.
