From fluorine chemistry to noncovalent interactions: celebrating Prof. Giuseppe Resnati

This year celebrates the 70th birthday of Prof. Giuseppe Resnati, a distinguished scientist whose pioneering contributions to organic, bio-organic, coordination, materials, and supramolecular chemistry have profoundly shaped these fields. Throughout his illustrious career, he has (co)-authored numerous high-impact publications, with a particular emphasis on fluoroorganic chemistry and the pivotal role of weak interactions. More recently, Prof. Resnati has served as co-chair of IUPAC Task Groups, leading the efforts to establish the official definitions of fundamental noncovalent interactions.

All submissions related to or inspired by Prof. Resnati’s body of work are encouraged.

This call for papers is open for the following article types:

• Communications
• Full papers
• Perspectives (submission by invitation only)
