Dear Colleagues
We remind you that we are less than one-month away from the deadline of
August 26, 2011 for submitting an abstract for oral presentation to Faraday
Discussion 157.
Abstracts that fit most closely with the themes of the meeting and ensure a
balanced programme will be selected for oral presentations. Authors of the
selected abstracts will then be invited to submit their work as a full
paper, which will form the basis of their short presentation at the
meeting. (see below for details).
We look forward to receiving oral abstract submissions by the end of August
2011.
Abstracts should be sent by email attachment to RSC Conferences (via the
link on the conference website) with the following subject header: 'FD157
abstract'. Submitting authors will be notified of the outcome of the review
process within about a month of the submission deadline. The abstracts
should be no longer than one A4 page in portrait layout. Please include
your full address and contact details in the email.

Faraday Discussion 157: Molecular Reaction Dynamics in Gases, Liquids and
Interfaces
25-27 June 2012
Assisi, Italy
website :
http://www.rsc.org/ConferencesAndEvents/RSCConferences/FD157/index.asp
Call for oral abstracts ? deadline: 26 August 2011
(see below for further details)
Introduction
The study of gas-phase molecular reaction dynamics has long proved to be a
central and fruitful field of research, with impact in many areas of
science, for both experimental and theoretical physical chemists/chemical
physicists.
While further advances in the characterization of gas-phase reactions are
actively pursued, the methods and concepts developed so far are also the
basis of the molecular approach of investigations of reaction dynamics at
interfaces (gas-liquid and gas-solid) and in condensed phases. Work in
several labs has been focused on developing a theoretical understanding of
this ultrafast dynamics. The hope is to discern the molecular mechanisms of
events such as solvation and vibrational relaxation - the elementary steps
that determine the course of chemical reactions in liquids.
Aims
This discussion is intended to bring together practitioners, both
experimentalists and theorists, of reaction dynamics in the gas phase, at
interfaces and in the condensed phase. The vision is to define the
state-of-the-art as we move into the second decade of the new millennium
and to outline the future prospects for this whole exciting area of
research, with impact in many fields of science.
Themes
· Bimolecular reaction dynamics in the gas-phase
· Photodissociation dynamics in the gas and liquid-phase
· Reaction dynamics at interfaces (gas-liquid and gas-solid)
· Ultrafast reaction dynamics in the condensed phase

Call for Papers
Offers of abstracts for oral presentations for Faraday Discussion 157
within any of the themes listed above are now invited with a deadline
of 26 August 2011. Abstracts should be sent by email attachment to
RSC Conferences (via the link on the conference website) with the
following subject header: 'FD157 abstract'. Submitting authors will be
notified of the outcome of the review process within about a month of
the submission deadline. The abstracts should be no longer than one A4
page in portrait layout. Please include your full address and contact
details in the email.

Key Dates
Oral presentation abstract deadline 26 August 2011.
Full papers received from authors 27 January 2012.
Poster presentation abstract deadline 27 April 2012.
Early bird registration deadline 27 April 2012.
Standard registration deadline 25 May 2012.
Pre-prints to delegates May 2012.
How it Works - Abstracts and Pre-prints
Abstracts that fit most closely with the themes of the meeting will be
selected for oral presentations. Authors of the selected abstracts
will then be invited to submit their work as a full paper, which will
form the basis of their short presentation at the meeting. The paper
itself must contain new, unpublished work and be submitted by 27
January 2012. The papers selected for presentation and discussion
will be refereed and then sent to all participants as preprints.
Preprints will be issued four weeks in advance of the meeting. The
discussion will be conducted on the assumption that the papers have
been read in advance and only five minutes will be allowed for each
presentation. Most of the time will be devoted to discussion, which is
then submitted for publication in the Faraday Discussion Volume which
will be published by the RSC about six months after the meeting.
The 2009 Thomson Scientific (ISI) 'Journal Citation Reports' show that the
impact factor for Faraday Discussion is 3.7 emphasising their importance as
a forum for developing new ideas.
The Scientific Committee warmly invites you to take part in the Discussion
and looks forward to welcoming you to Assisi.
We look forward to receiving your abstracts.
