PROGRAMME

The conference is organized around three main topics dealing with the structure, dynamics and function of molecular and supramolecular objects of increasing complexity: small building blocks, biological systems and materials. At each stage a combination of different experimental and theoretical techniques is employed. The techniques include: time-dependent UV/VIS and vibrational spectroscopy, microwave, x-ray and neutron crystallography, inelastic neutron scattering, liquid and solid state NMR, all methods of theoretical chemistry, numerical simulations; photoinduced processes, isotope substitution. The capabilities of the local large scale neutron and X-ray facilities available at Ile de France (reactor Orphée of Laboratoire Léon Brillouin and SOLEIL) will be exemplified.
