Workshop of the second "Advances in Precision Carbon Nanostructures" (2nd PCNano)

On November 22^nd, an enlightening workshop on the 2^nd “Advances in Precision Carbon Nanostructures (PCNano)” took place in Dresden, showcasing the forefront of research in this research field. The event featured four distinguished speakers from around the globe, each delivering outstanding presentations:

• Michael Haley, University of Oregon (USA): The Interplay Between Antiaromaticity and Diradical Character in Diarenoindacenes and Diindenoarenes
• Konstantin Amsharov, Halle University (DE): Towards direct synthesis of carbon based nanostructures on metal oxide surfaces
• Michal Juríček, University of Zurich (CH): Taming and unleashing the reactivity of nanographene π-radicals
• Milan Kivala, Heidelberg University (DE): Alkynes as a Versatile Entry into Fascinating Polycyclic Landscapes

Additionally, local representative speakers (Dr. Ji Ma, Mr. Sebastian Obermann, Dr. Wenhui Niu, Dr. Jin-Jiang Zhang) shared the latest achievements from the chair. Their presentations covered the topics of magnetic nanocarbons, precision graphene nanoribbons, and boron-doped nanographene.

Organized by Prof. Xinliang Feng and Dr. Ji Ma at TU Dresden & MPI of Microstructure Physics, Halle, the 1^st PCNano was made online on January 20th and 21st, 2022 in honor of Prof. Klaus Müllen’s 75th birthday. Plans are underway to organize the 3^rd edition in the near future, promising continued exploration and dissemination of groundbreaking advancements in precision carbon nanostructures.
