The Gordon Research Seminar on Crystal Engineering is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
This meeting will focus on design, synthesis, and applications of metal-organic materials (MOMs) and coordination polymers (CPs) as well as utilization of different analytical techniques for structure-function relationship investigations.
