Special Issue of Supramolecular Chemistry
ISMSC-7 conference delegates are invited to submit manuscripts (communication, mini-review, or full paper) for publication in a special issue of Supramolecular Chemistry. The deadline for the submission of manuscripts will be 1 February 2012; they will they be peer-reviewed as usual.
Manuscripts should be submitted through the Supramolecular Chemistry website. When making your submission, please select the special issue and one of the guest associate editors (Nigel Lucas, James Crowley, Keith Gordon or Sally Brooker) for this special issue, and indicate in your cover letter that you would like your submission to be considered for publication in the ISMSC-7 special issue.
If you have any questions about a possible submission, please do not hesitate to contact one of the above associate editors. Alternatively you may contact Kateri Aragon (aragon@mail.utexas.edu), who serves as the journal secretary.
Brief history of the ISMSC
The annual International Symposia on Macrocyclic Chemistry (ISMC) conference series began in 1977, in Provo, Utah, chaired by Reed M. Izatt and James J. Christensen.
The biennial International Symposia on Supramolecular Chemistry (ISSC) series began in 1980, in Warsaw, Poland.
In 2006, the two symposia combined to hold a conference in Victoria, Canada. The decision was made to merge, and a meeting is now held every year under the banner the International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC), in a different nation each time.
The 7th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC-7) is being held at the University of Otago in New Zealand’s summer (29 January -2 February 2012). It will cover all aspects of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry, including the traditional core areas of chemistry as well as interfacing with biological, nanotechnological and materials fields.
