CURO-Pi III: a conference on the chemistry & physics of curved pi-conjugated molecules

11 May 2018

Chemical Science is proud to sponsor CURO-Pi III, taking place at the University of Oxford in the UK on 5-7 September 2018. This international symposium, chaired by Professor Harry Anderson, is on the synthesis and application of curved organic pi-molecules and materials.

With an exciting list of international speakers, including the keynote speaker Kenichiro Itami (Nagoya University), this conference will cover the synthesis and properties of non-planar aromatics and curved pi-systems, and extend the application of these compounds in fields such as electronics and biology.

Don’t miss out on your chance to attend this symposium – last few places remaining! Register by 31^st July.

Congratulations to Pablo Martinez-Bulit!

Pablo Martinez-Bulit next to his poster presented at ISMSC/ISACS

Congratulations to the Poster Prize winner at this year’s ISMSC/ISACS meeting.

The winner is Pablo Martinez-Bulit from the University of Windsor, Canada who is currently working as a graduate student in the group of Professor Stephen Loeb. His Ph.D. research focuses on the synthesis of [n]rotaxanes suitable for their incorporation into solid-state materials so we can use the dynamics inherent to these systems. He is especially interested in the rotation, translation, and conformational changes of the macrocyclic ring. Finally, the use of porphyrins provides an excellent scaffold to obtain robust materials.

The International Symposium on Macrocylic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC) which was run in 2017 in conjunction with ISACS: Challenges in Organic Materials & Supramolecular Chemistry took place in Cambridge, UK. The conference themes spread the breadth of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry from inorganic to organic chemistry and chemical biology, and the symposium provided an excellent opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their work in a multidisciplinary environment.

We wish Pablo all the best for his ongoing research and look forward to reading about his first results very soon.
