On August 25th, the 8th  National Conference on Supramolecular Chemistry of Macrocyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons was held in Room 208 of the International Exchange Center of NWAFU. The conference was co-sponsored by the College of  Chemistry & Pharmacy and Chinese Chemical Letters (CCL). Experts, teachers and students over 160 people in all from Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Normal University, South China University of Technology, Sichuan Universit, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Sun Yat-Sen University, Southern University of Science and Technology, Northwestern University, and Chinese Academy of Sciences attended the conference.

At this three-day conference, scholars and students exchanged ideas in 30 academic reports and poster demonstrations on  the research of  bio-medical materials based on subject-object chemistry, AIEE and size controble polymer- nanospheres ,the transmembrane transport of supramolecular drug delivery systems with multiple stimuli, the new column aromatics materials, and the orthogonal construction of functionalized supramolecular assemblies.

The conference selected the National Acyclic Aromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Academic Achievement Award and the National Acyclic Aromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Academic Star Award. Professor Liu Yu from Nankai University won the National Acyclic Aromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Academic Achievement Award. Professor Hou Junli from Fudan University and Associate Professor Jiang Wei from Southern University of Science and Technology won the National Acyclic Aromatic Supramolecular Chemistry Academic Star Award.
