Abstract :It is an honor and privilige to publish the abstracts of the 11 th Chemical Physics Congress insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CPC- XI); in the current issue of the The Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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
