M27<\/strong><\/p>\nHigh Pressure Crystallography: Exploring Structure and Method Development at Extreme Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\nChairs:\u00a0<\/strong>Wilson Crichton (ESRF, FR)<\/p>\nSpeakers:\u00a0<\/strong>Philip Salmon (University of Bath, UK)<\/p>\nThis session will highlight the state-of-the-art structural investigations of materials under extreme pressures and temperatures using both X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. Our goal is to disseminate new approaches. We will present major breakthroughs in the methodology for analyzing single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from multiphase mixtures of microcrystalline solids and powders. We will cover both in situstructure\/property characterization and ex situ studies of materials synthesized under extreme conditions using diamond anvil cells and large-volume apparatus. Additionally, we will discuss complementary techniques, from spectroscopies to calculations, which further facilitate the elucidation of results that are challenging to obtain.<\/p>\n

Contributions relating to the nature and the use of hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, chalcogen bonding or any other class of non-covalent interactions will be welcome.<\/p>\n

M33<\/strong><\/p>\nCorrelate molecular structure with materials properties<\/strong><\/p>\nChairs:<\/strong>\u00a0Kresimir Molcanov (Institut Ru\u0111er Bo\u0161kovi\u0107, HR), Vania Andr\u00e8 (University of Lisbon, PT)<\/p>\nSpeakers:\u00a0<\/strong>Anna Krawczuk (University of G\u00f6ttingen, DE), Jeremy Rawson (University of Windsor, CA)<\/p>\nNew materials with targeted physical properties are an area of current interest from both, fundamental and applicative points of view. Molecular materials are chemically tunable and thus good candidates to reach this goal. They can exhibit a single property such as gas storage, sensing, magnetism or catalysts, but they can also be multifunctional with two or more physical properties of interest. Thus, bulk properties of a material stem from structure of its constituent molecules. A clever choice of the constituent molecules could allow the appearance of an unusual combination of physical properties in the same compound, or even a mutual interplay or synergy of the properties involved.<\/p>\n

M40<\/strong><\/p>\nTechniques to discover polymorphism: mechanochemistry, crystal growth and others<\/strong><\/p>\nChairs:<\/strong>\u00a0Nora May (HUN-REN, HU), Paola Paoli\u00a0(<\/a>University of Florence, IT)<\/p>\nSpeakers:\u00a0<\/strong>Michael Zaworotko (University of Limerick, IE), Adam Michalchuk (University of Birmingham, UK)<\/p>\nUnderstanding and controlling the structural and energetic factors which drive the supramolecular arrangement in crystals, is still a matter of great importance today in order to be able to produce materials with the desired properties. Hence the relevance of \u00a0polymorphism in many area (chemistry, materials, pharmaceutics), given that polymorphs can greatly differ as for their chemical, physical, thermodynamic and mechanical properties, just to name a few. This microsymposium \u00a0will provide an opportunity to present relevant results in which polymorphs formation is investigated under different conditions and with different techniques.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
