Scientific Scope
Physical Chemistry Everywhere…
Physical chemistry as the common core connecting diverse scientific fields.
The scientific program of ECPC27 reflects the central role of physical chemistry across modern chemistry, materials science and emerging technologies; from understanding molecules and reactions at the fundamental level to developing advanced materials, sustainable processes, energy technologies and applications under extreme environments.
The program is organized around 9 broad scientific topics, designed to encourage interaction across traditional disciplinary boundaries. The themes provide a framework for abstract submission rather than rigid session categories. Final scientific sessions will be shaped according to the submitted contributions, allowing emerging topics and interdisciplinary connections to develop naturally within the program.

Title: Excited-State Proton Transfer in Molecules and Materials
ABSTRACT
The talk will discuss recent advances in photobase/photoacid research. We will consider the photophyiscs of polymer-embedded photobases and photoacids to control the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance and, hence, the swelling behaviour of polymers and polymer nanoparticles. We will show that polymer integration of well-known photoactive molecular building blocks not only changes the rate but also the yield oft he intermolecular proton transfer reaction. The second part of the presentation will report on advances in synthesizing and spectroscopically characterizing transition metal compounds, which act as photobases upon visible-light excitation. The discussion will start with Ru(II) complexes with photobasic ligands and continue to show how the concept can be transferred to Fe(II) complexes.
