Selected Papers from the 2nd International Symposium on New Molecules and Clusters

Dear Colleagues,

Building on the great success of the 1^st International Symposium on New Molecules and Clusters, held in Shanghai, China, 27–30 May, 2016, we will be holding the 2^nd International Symposium on New Molecules and Clusters will be held in Shanghai, 18–20 August, 2018.

Following the spirit of the 1^st meeting, this symposium is dedicated to new molecules and clusters exhibiting unusual bonding interactions. The field has been the topic of intensive experimental and theoretical studies in recent years, which has pushed the frontiers of our knowledge about chemical structures and bonding to new dimensions. We hope that the symposium will provide an intimate atmosphere for both experimentalists and theoreticians to freely present and exchange new ideas. The number of speakers is restricted to about 25 internationally-leading scientists in this area. For all details please see: http://www.molecule.fudan.edu.cn

Participants of the symposium are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Molecules.

Prof. Dr. Mingfei Zhou
