WELCOME!

This year marks the one-hundredth birthday anniversary of Gerhard M. J. Schmidt, an organic chemist and crystallographer based at the Weizmann Institute of Science from 1948 until 1971. To commemorate this event, we are organizing a two-day symposium Contemporary Crystal Engineering and Solid-State Chemistry, which will take place on October 23–24, 2019 in Rehovot, Israel.

 

The symposium will focus on the following aspects of modern solid-state chemistry and crystal engineering:

  • Metal-organic frameworks

  • Colloidal crystals

  • (Photo)chemical reactivity in the solid state

  • Supramolecular chemistry

  • Solid-state inorganic chemistry

  • Biomineralization and bio-inspired materials

  • Crystals with unusual mechanical properties

  • Novel methods of structure determination.
