The conference series offers a prestigious international forum to present and discuss new findings and exchange ideas on advanced synthesis, structure-property relationship, and applications of novel aromatic compounds. It was established in 1970 as the International Symposium on Nonbenzenoid Aromatic Compounds.
Symposium Topics
- Aromaticity and novel aromatic systems: Theory, Synthesis, and Experiments
- Aromatic polymers and oligomers: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
- Macrocyclic aromatic compounds
- Fullerenes and concave aromatics, graphene, and carbon nanotube- related aromatics
- Molecular and supramolecular aromatic devices, switches, and machines
- Aromatics for optoelectronics, conducting, and magnetic applications
- Excited state aromaticity
- Bio-aromatics
