On-surface Synthesis International Workshop (OSS16)

Website of the Congress: http://oss.dipc.org/

On-surface synthesis unites the easy tunability of molecular materials and the promises of self-assembly as a revolutionary production method, with the sturdiness of covalently bonded structures. This most attractive combination is drawing the interest of a rapidly increasing number of researchers. Important efforts are being devoted to augment the still scarcely equipped on-surface synthesis toolbox, to improve our understanding of the chemical reaction mechanisms, as well as to the synthesis and characterization of new molecular architectures of potential use in diverse applications. Recent advances on these aspects will be reported at OSS16. Because on-surface synthesis bridges across the fields of chemistry, physics and materials science, OSS16 will promote scientific exchange between different research communities that overlap in this particular field.
