The Seventh Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference (ECCC7) was held from April 2 through April 30, 2001, entirely on the Internet at http://eccc7.cooper.edu . The conference was hosted by the Chemistry Department, the Computer Center and the School of Engineering of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.
The ECCC's are multidisciplinary and cover all aspects of computational chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering, as well as computational atomic and molecular physics. Participants were able to view articles and discuss them entirely through a web browser. A history of the ECCC is accessible here.
The conference discussions are not archived, but the following list of links to offsite presentations has been preserved. Also, authors who subsequently published their work in the Internet Journal of Chemistry have an IJC link placed after the authors' names. Please note that although all abstracts of all presentations were peer-reviewed, only those presentations which were subsequently published in IJC were completely peer-reviewed.
The ECCC7 Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of:
All web and conferencing services, as well as the design of ECCC7's look-and-feel, were provided by the members of the ECCC7 Web Organizing Committee.
