Mini Symposium Wuhan University
Abstracts: 1. The Modification of the Functionality of p-Molecules through the Structural Adjustment Zhen Li (李振) College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, 430072 E-mail: lizhen@whu.edu.cn To construct p-molecules with different structures is one of the key points in the research field of opto-electronic materials. In many cases, the molecular structure not only affects the intramolecular p-conjugation, but also the intermolecular p-p stacking, to result in the different functionalities. In this talk, some typical examples will be…

Prof. Michael K.C. Tam Department of Chemical Engineering, Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, University of Waterloo, Canada Abstract: Nanotechnology is anticipated to be the next technological wave that will drive many of theinnovations in science and engineering. In this discipline, there is a renewed impetus to developnanomaterials from renewable sources due to the negative impact of using raw materials fromtraditional carbon sources, such as crude oil. New opportunities in the use of sustainable andrenewable material for various advanced engineering applications exist,…

Joanna Olesiak-Banska “Mutiphoton microscopy and spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles and amyloids”
Dr. Joanna Olesiak-Banska Advanced Materials Engineering and Modelling Group, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland "Mutiphoton microscopy and spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles and amyloids" Abstract: Advantages of multiphoton imaging of biological samples are well recognized, but various limitations have prevented its broad application to date. One of them is a lack of markers with particularly favorable nonlinear optical properties and, simultaneously, bright and stable photoluminescence. I will present a comprehensive research on the third-order nonlinear optical properties of gold…

Jacek Mlynarski Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences Abstract: Asymmetric catalysis with the use of chiral metal complexes is still the most important method for the stereoselective formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. After more than 40 years from the first use of transition metals for the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes and carbonyl compounds, the most efficient catalysts for these transformations are still compounds composed of rhodium, iridium, ruthenium or platinum. Recently, environmentally benign and less…
