Topics & Session Chairs
The ICCC2022 program will include the 8 different thematic sessions described below. Each thematic session will be handled by national and international chairs, who will make a joint selection of Invited Lectures (ILs) and Oral Communications (OCs).
Presenting authors (for oral and/or poster communications) will be invited to choose carefully the most appropriate topic destination to their contribution. In particular, they are asked to focus on the most relevant content(s) of their work in order to make the most appropriate TOPIC choice.
A couple of examples are given hereafter for the sake of clarity as to help authors with the correct topic choice:
(a) An abstract describing the synthesis of novel coordination compounds of the f-block elements and their application in homogeneous catalysis. If the focus of the contribution is the compounds synthesis and structural or chemico-physical features, the most appropriate destination will be T2. In contrast, should the authors want to highlight the catalytic results more than the synthetic aspect, the most appropriate topic will be T5.
(b) An abstract describing the preparation of magnetic coordination compounds for applications in medicine/biology. If the focus of the contribution is the synthesis and characterization of the compounds, the most appropriate destination will be T4. If the author wants to highlight the bio-implications of the study more than the synthetic aspects, the most appropriate topic will be T8.
Session Chairs and Organizers reserve the right to modify the authors’ original topic choice, on the basis of the abstract scientific contents and of the number and type of contributions received.
- d-block organometallics and coordination compounds: synthesis, characterization and reactivity
- clusters and polyoxometalates (POMs)
