An aromatic celebration: ChemPlusChem is pleased to publish a Special Issue on Novel Aromatics, guest-edited by Aiko Fukazawa, Shinji Toyota, Rik Tykwinski, and Wallace Wong. This project is associated with the organizers of the 18th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-18), to be held in Sapporo, Japan (July 21-26, 2019). The issue features fascinating, top-quality contributions covering nearly all aspects of "aromatic" chemistry, including synthesis, properties, and applications of acenes, annulenes, azulenes, fullerenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and thiophenes as well as porphyrins, corroles, and phthalocyanines.
