ISACS18: Challenges in Organic Materials and Supramolecular Chemistry in Bangalore

16 Dec 2015

By Jeanne Therese Andres.

Highlights from the very first ISACS meeting in India held on 19-21 November 2015

Over 160 delegates from 14 countries signed up for the first International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) meeting in India to discuss ground-breaking research in organic materials and supramolecular chemistry. Held at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore on 19-21 November, with an international scientific committee led by Professor S Ramakrishnan, this was the culmination of the ISACS series in 2015.

ISACS18

Professor Ramakrishnan, Chair of the Scientific Committee, delivers the opening remarks at ISACS18

Focusing on five key topic areas, all the scientific talks were extremely well-received, from engineering interfaces through the assembly of minerals and nutrients with Frank Caruso, to self-assembly and self-healing by molecular recognition with Akira Harada, to stimuli-responsive fluorescent molecular assemblies with Ayyappanpillai Ajayaghosh, and to rectification in single-molecule junctions with Latha Venkataraman. Exciting discussions also took place on the latest developments in bio-inspired and bio-relevant supramolecular systems, as the participants enjoyed outstanding contributions from Stefan Matile, Sijbren Otto and Jan van Esch, to name a few.

The poster sessions were extremely lively with 84 presenters discussing their work. Three poster prizes were presented, sponsored by Chemical Science, ChemComm and Chemistry World.

Ajith Mallia (L) and Emmanuel Etim won the Chemical Science and Chemistry World poster prizes, respectively

The Chemical Science-sponsored poster prize went to Ajith Ravi Mallia (IISER-Thiruvananthapuram) for his poster on how light-harvesting vesicular donor-acceptor scaffold limits the rate of charge recombination in the presence of an electron donor, while the ChemComm poster prize was won by Pritam Mukhopadhyay (Jawaharlal Nehru University) for his research on highly ambient stable naphthalenediimide-based radicals and radical ions. PhD student Emmanuel Etim received the Chemistry World poster prize (together with the customary mug) for his work on interstellar hydrogen bonding.

A Chemistry World panel discussion on building successful industry-academia collaborations discussed the challenges and advantages of partnerships between these two groups.

Royal Society of Chemistry members and ISACS18 delegates also enjoyed a special reception and conference dinner at the Fairfield Marriott.

View more ISACS18 photos on Chemistry World’s album on Facebook.

The next instalment of the ISACS conference series on the theme of Challenges in Organic Materials and Supramolecular Chemistry will be held in conjuction with the International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC) meeting on 2-6 July 2017 in Cambridge, UK – more details on registration and abstract submission dates to be announced next year.

Jihong Yu elected Academician by the Chinese Academy of Sciences

11 Dec 2015

By Jeanne Therese Andres.

Congratulations, Jihong!

We proudly congratulate Chemical Science Associate Editor Jihong Yu (Jilin University), who was officially elected as Academician by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on 7 December 2015 – congratulations from the Royal Society of Chemistry, and especially from the whole Chemical Science team!

After rigorous selection and assessment, Jihong was awarded the title of Academician – widely regarded as one of the highest honours for scientists in China – together with eight other professors working in the chemical sciences. A total of 61 new Academicians from various science disciplines were selected by CAS in this round of biennial elections. As a CAS Academician, Jihong is now even better placed to help shape the nation’s science policy and influence significant decisions on the future of the chemical sciences in China.

Jihong’s research focuses on the synthesis and preparation chemistry of inorganic microporous materials, typically known as zeolites. In the course of her research, she has made significant contributions to the molecular engineering of zeolites by developing effective strategies for the structural design and rational synthesis of these materials.

As an Associate Editor for Chemical Science since 2012, Jihong welcomes submissions in the area of inorganic materials. Together with our dynamic international team of Associate Editors, she has been actively driving the journal’s scientific development by making direct decisions on its content – submit your best work to any of their Editorial Offices today!

Hitching a ride on DNA

18 Nov 2015

By Bethany Johnson.

In the congested intracellular environment, scientists in the Netherlands and the US have found a way for molecules to manoeuvre through the crowds and arrive at their destination faster, increasing the efficiency of lengthy laboratory processes, such as polymerase chain reactions (PCRs).

Biomolecules must find and associate with other biomolecules to carry out basic processes within a cell. To do so, many will randomly diffuse within the cell’s three-dimensional space, which is very time-consuming. Some proteins have evolved to glide along DNA and sample positions in a one-dimensional fashion in search of their target, akin to driving down a highway and stopping to sightsee along the way. This has the potential to speed up these processes. Read the full article in Chemistry World»

by Michaela Muehlberg

Scientists in the US and Russia have performed theoretical calculations to better understand the well-known instability of peroxides as well as the astonishing higher stability of bis- and tris-peroxides. For the latter, they found that multiple O–O bonds appear to exert a stabilising stereoelectronic effect on each other, which boosts stability. Read the full article in Chemistry World»

Gold cluster bends between two isomers
by Sage Bowser

Collaborating research groups in the US and China have observed a rare type of isomerism in a gas phase Au2I3– cluster. The cluster exhibits two stable structures with the same electronic configuration and potential energy surface that vary in only their Au–I–Au bond angles, a phenomenon that the researchers have dubbed ‘bond-bending isomerism’.
