16th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-16)

View Full Event Details

The ISNA was founded in 1970 by Professor Tetsuo Nozoe, who discovered the first non-benzenoid aromatic compound, hinokitiol, in Taipei. The name and the goal of this symposium series have evolved as the aromatic compounds pervade all branches of science.
Highlighting the current most exciting challenges on aromaticity, the ISNA-16 will be an opportunity to celebrate the 150 anniversary of a milestone in aromaticity, the first publication of Kekulè’s benzene. To continue the blossoming tradition of previous ISNA symposia, ISNA-16 will provide an interactive platform for researchers worldwide to present new findings and exchange innovative ideas on advanced synthesis, structure-property relationship, and applications of novel aromatic compounds for different purposes.

The scientific program of this symposium includes the Nozoe memorial lecture, plenary lectures, invited lectures, oral communications, and poster presentations.
