57th Heyrovský Discussions: Molecular photo-spectro-electrochemistry, electrosynthesis and mechanisms

The special feature of this year’s meeting is to bring together organic, organometallic and coordination electrochemists and to discuss the combination of molecular electrochemistry with photoelectrochemistry and UV-vis/EPR spectrometric techniques with the stress on photo-redox catalysis, (green) electrosynthesis and the respective mechanisms.

The main themes of the 57th Heyrovský Discussion are:

• Understanding of Mechanisms of electrochemically initiated reactions of newly designed molecules
• Combination of electrochemistry, photochemistry and spectroscopy
• New electrosynthetic reactions + "green electrochemistry"
• Mimics for photo-redox biological systems
• and Electro-photo chemistry and catalysis

In subtopics the discussion will cover:

• relationship between structure and (photo)redox properties
• organic molecules and complexes with multiple redox centers
• electrochemical studies of intramolecular electronic communication
• electrocatalytic principles and mechanisms
• host-guest interaction and units for supramolecular devices
• molecular machines and switches
• stereoelectrochemistry – redox properties affected by conformation change
• electrochemistry and chirality, singlet fission, electrochromism
• electrochemically generated chemiluminescence (ECL)
• correlation of experimental data with theoretical calculations
• and others related problems on molecular level
