From Molecular Design to Function: Structure-Property Insights Driving Technology

This symposium features research connecting molecular design with structure–property relationships to advance technologies in chemistry, materials science, and related fields. As challenges in energy, catalysis, electronics, and materials science grow increasingly complex, precise molecular-level engineering and accurate prediction of macroscopic behavior have become essential. We welcome contributions focused on the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of molecules and materials exhibiting novel or enhanced functionalities. Relevant topics include structure–property relationships in functional materials, but are not limited to: • Structure–property relationships in functional materials • Supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly • Computational and data-driven molecular design • Molecular modeling and simulation • Nanostructured and responsive systems • Smart materials for sensing, catalysis, energy conversion, and storage Submissions that bridge theory and experiment, connect fundamental discovery to application, or highlight interdisciplinary collaboration are particularly encouraged. Both oral and poster presentations will be accepted. We aim to feature a diverse range of speakers from academic, government, and industrial backgrounds. This symposium offers a valuable opportunity to share your latest findings, connect with fellow scientists, and contribute to a dialogue on how molecular-level understanding can solve real-world technological challenges.
