ISOC 2007
Organometallic Chemistry is one of the most important and emerging branch of Chemistry and its applications will continue to benefit society. Although tremendous progress has been already made, the kinds of organometallic compounds so far studied and utilized have still been limited. Many catalytic and non catalytic stereoselective processes that are key steps in creative and non conventional synthesis of complex molecules have gained significant advantage from organometallic chemistry, i. e. Monsanto’s synthesis of L-dopa, Ziegler-Natta catalysts for polymers production, chiral Noyori’s catalysts for hydrogenation and hydrogen-transfer, olefin metathesis. The ISOC 2007 will be organized by the Interdivisonal Group of Organometallic Chemistry with the aim of encouraging the presence of young researchers and Ph.D. students both from University and Industry, including those not directly involved in organometallic research projects. It is particularly important to bring together young researchers and distinguished European scientists as a contribution to the important goal of increased transfer of knowledge at a high level between different European countries and different generations of Scientists. The number of participants will be limited to around 100. This is aimed to facilitate maximum interaction among the participants and between them and the lecturers. The 6th edition of the ISOC will focus on the relevance of research in organometallics for bond activation, new materials, modelling catalytic intermediates, enzymes and catalysis, synthesis of fine-chemicals and pharmaceuticals and green-chemistry applications.
