It is an honor and privilige to publish the abstracts of the 11 th Chemical Physics Congress (CPC-
XI) in the current issue of the The Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry
(JOTCSA).

11th Chemical Physics Congress was organized by Piri Reis University in Istanbul on October 17-
18, 2014. The Conference covered contributions from experimental and theoretical chemical
physics research areas and will mainly be on the following themes:

Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics
Computational chemistry
Surfaces, interfaces and materials
Spectroscopy
Classical and quantum dynamics
Chemical Kinetics
Biophysical chemistry
There were three keynote talks by distinguished scientists from international chemical physics
community, 23 contributed talks on different themes of the meeting and 76 poster
presentations. All of these presentations were very valuable contributions for advancing and
excelling the scientific research in our community. We would like to thank each and every
participant in this organization for their efforts and contributions. We also would like to
commemorate fellow scientists we lost, especially Prof. Dr. Cemil Öğretir (1947-2011), and
honour their work for the chemical physics meetings in the past.
This meeting would not be possible without the support provided by Piri Reis University, Tübitak
and Terralab. We would like to express our most sincere gratitude for their help. We also would
like to thank to the Scientific Committee for their support to the present meeting and for their
extensive efforts on the continuation of chemical physics meetings in Turkey.
Finally, we would like to thank the editorial team JOTCSA for their efforts in the outreach of the
congress presentations to a wider scientific audience. I believe that development of the science
publishing in a country is closely related to the very essence of the development of science
itself. Therefore, I hope that JOTCSA has a very long life as a high-quality peer reviewed journal
in the Turkish scientific community. Researchers working in all fields of applied and theoretical
chemistry are invited to consider JOTCSA for publication of their manuscripts. This journal can
grow only by the support and efforts of the fellow scientists in Turkey and become an
international reference point.
I am looking forward to reaching your valuable contributions and high-quality articles in the
coming issues of JOTCSA as well as in the 12 th Chemical Physics Congress in 2016.
On behalf of the Organization Committee of CPC-XI
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alimet Sema Özen
Guest Editor of JOTCSA
