Molecular Rotor Workshop 2019

21 November — 22 November 2019
IOCB Prague
Molecular Rotor Workshop 2019
This meeting is dedicated to fundamental research in the field of molecular rotors, motors, and switches, with special focus on their 2-D and 3-D assemblies. Plenary lectures will consist of experimental and theoretical contributions from organic, supramolecular, physical, and theoretical chemistry and physics.

Due to the limited capacity of the conference room, all non-registered participants should contact Jiří Kaleta in advance to make a reservation.
