Official Information:

Physical organic chemistry (POC) is field that has developed rapidly over the past two decades. Reaction kinetics and reaction mechanisms still lie at the core of physical organic chemistry, but the boundaries of POC now stretch far beyond.

This discussion will seek to explore frontiers in two senses:

* Cutting edge research in core areas of POC
* The boundaries where POC concepts have an impact on other disciplines

Faraday Discussion 145 aims to bring together the physical chemists / chemical physicists with their organic counterparts not only in solution-phase reactive chemistry, but also in the booming area of non-covalent interactions and in reactions and recognition at interfaces.
