Combinatorial Explosion: From Atom-Bond Arrangements to Exotic Diseases Abstract: Chemical synthesis and data science are two fields that operate in synergy. Molecules and the routes to synthesize them are easily represented as graphs while automated chemical synthesis strategies allow more and more synthesis data to be captured, for instance to feed machine learning algorithms. This […]

Flyer: Prof. Piotr Kaszyński Flyer Title: Closo-Boranes: Unique Structural Elements for Functional Materials Abstract: closo-Boranes are inorganic 3-D sigma aromatic compounds with steric and electronic properties attractive for designing multifunctional materials. Earlier work demonstrated that 10- and 12-vertex p-carboranes are suitable building blocks for liquid crystals. Anionic closo-carbaborates have been used to design highly polar […]
Flyer: Prof. Zdenek Sofer Flyer Title: 2D Magnets and Dielectrics Abstract: The recent progress in methods of high quality and low defect 2D magnetic materials will be discussed. Beside the group of transition metal halides and chalcogens also the rapidly growth family of mixed halogen-chalcogenides will be introduced. The dominantly explored material, chromium sulfo-bromide adopt […]
Mautner-Perkins Lecture Flyer Reticular Chemistry and ChatGPT Abstract: Our recent work on digitalization of reticular chemistry will be reported. We have been experimenting with ChatGPT and machine learning in the discovery of new MOFs for clean air, water, and energy applications.
