On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite your participation in the 24th International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry (2010 XXIV ICOMC) which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, from 18 to 23 July, 2010.

 

ICOMC was launched in 1963 and is now held every other year. We are proud to announce that for the very first time, this conference is held in Taipei. We are expecting lots of participants from the Asian area and all over the world to join us. The venue for this event will be Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), which is situated in a vibrant area nearby Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world.

 

The program of this conference will feature plenary lectures, invited lectures, oral communications and poster presentations.

 

They include all modern advances and new trends in organometallic chemistry:

(1) Organometallic chemistry with transition metals, lanthanides, main group elements.

(2) Organometallic catalysis: new synthetic methods, enantioselective catalysis, C-H bond activation and functionalization, alkene metathesis, cascade reactions…

(3) Polymerisation and polymers

(4) Metal- and heteroatom-based molecular organometallics for materials (5) Catalysis and organometallics for green chemistry and energy

(6) Bioinorganics, bioorganometallics in biology and medicine

(7) Theoretical and physical methods, bonding and reaction mechanisms in organometallic chemistry

(8) Self assembly and supramolecular chemistry involving organometallic skeletons

 

There have been many new concepts developed in the field of Organometallic Chemistry recently, confirming its singular importance in modern technology. We believe that the 2010 XXIV ICOMC will bring together prolific results for greater advancements in this field and provide a unique opportunity for all our colleagues and young friends to see the most recent developments in this field.

 

We are very much looking forward to seeing you in Taipei!
