SUMMARY:Mir Wais Hosseini
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mir Wais Hosseini, Molecular Tectonics Laboratory, University of Strasbourg, France.  "Molecular Tectonics:  From Networks of Molecules to Networks of Crystals." Special Lecture, Hosted by Professor Joanna Aizenberg. <!--break-->Abstract:  Bridging the gap between microscopic (atoms and molecules) and macroscopic (materials) worlds is challenging and requires construction strategies.  At the intersection of supramolecular and solid state chemistry and materials sciences, we have developed an approach called molecular tectonics.  This approach is based on supramolecular synthesis of crystalline materials seen as extended periodic molecular networks.  Their construction by self-assembly processes results from repetitive molecular recognition events between programed tectons or building blocks.  The approach is operational and versatile and allows, not only the design and construction of a variety of organic or hybrid complex architectures and core-shell crystals, but also the welding, under mild condition, of crystals into networks of crystals.
