Thank you for your participation in the workshop.

Call for Abstracts:

You are cordially invited to the 5th Japanese-Russian Workshop on “Open Shell Compounds and Molecular Spin Devices”, November 13-16, 2011, Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, Awaji Island, Japan.

Aim and Scope of the Meeting:

The aim of the Workshop is to provide a basically bilateral but multilateral forum for discussions of interdisciplinary issues on open shell compounds and molecular spin science/technology among chemists, physicists and materials scientists. The Workshop will focus on syntheses of novel open shell compounds, recent applications, and quests for novel functionalities of open shell systems as diverse as; organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biological science, materials and polymer science. Theoretical approaches also will be encouraged.

Program:

The scientific program includes the lectures of leading scientists, oral and posters presentations from both experimental and theoretical sides. The official language of the workshop is English.

The issues relevant to the workshop are as follows:
Molecular designs of open shell compounds, magneto-active compounds, magnetic materials and molecular spin devices.
