3rd International Conference on Excited State Aromaticity and Antiaromaticity (ICEESAA3)

We are very excited to announce the third edition of the International Conference on Excited State Aromaticity and Antiaromaticity (ICESAA3), which will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from July 7 to 10, 2024.

Since the discovery of benzene over 150 years ago, aromaticity has become one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, forming the basis for the properties and reactivity of many compounds. For most of its long history, aromaticity has been studied in the ground state of compounds. However, it is now recognized that aromaticity and antiaromaticity in the excited state also play key roles, particularly in photochemical reactions.

Over the past decade or so, the concept of excited state aromaticity and antiaromaticity has been further refined and many breakthrough examples have surfaced. The ICESAA meetings are the premier venue for disseminating and discussing recent advances related to excited state aromaticity and antiaromaticity, exemplifying its importance in a variety of photophysical and photochemical properties and processes. It is clear that both fundamental and applicative aspects remain underexplored, with great potential yet to be tapped.

The 3rd ICESAA conference series is devoted to fundamental aspects and applications of excited state aromaticity and antiaromaticity in chemistry and materials science, as well as other fields, such as biology and biomedicine. The 1st ICESAA conference was organized in Sigtuna, Sweden, from July 30 to August 2, 2019, and the second on Kauai, U. S. A., from December 16 until December 21, 2022. The current edition is the third ICESAA meeting and is held under the auspices of the Croatian Chemical Society and the Israel Chemical Society.

The abstracts submission deadline is April 15, 2024.

From 440 to 625 EUR depending on your status and payment date.
