ISOC 2009 Almost all branches of chemistry and material science now interface with Organometallic Chemistry. Organometallic compounds range from species which are so reactive that they only have a transient existence at ambient temperatures to species which are thermally very stable. Organometallics are used extensively in the synthesis of useful compounds on both large and small scales. Industrial processes involving plastics, polymers, electronic materials, and pharmaceuticals all depend on advancements in organometallic chemistry. 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. The ISOC 2009 has been organized by the Interdivisonal Group of Organometallic Chemistry of the Italian Chemical Society 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 major objective of the ISOC 2009 is to promote synergy in organometallic research. 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 7th edition of ISOC will focus on the relevance of basic research in organometallics as a fondamental tool for new applications. The development of advanced methodologies based on the particular properties of organometallic compounds may lead to important changes in the approach of organometallic chemists to the field. The invited speakers will present their reading keys. Fundamental studies on the mechanistic and structural aspects, as well as new experimental methods and investigation techniques, support the use of organometallic compounds in different application areas including catalytic processes (olefin polymerisation, and hydroamination, CO hydrogenation, etc.), the synthesis of natural products and asymmetric synthesis. |
