* 10th International
Conference on the Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry of Germanium,
Tin, and Lead
* IUPAC-sponsored
event
8-12 July 2001
Talence, France
This conference, held once every three years, provides
an international forum for presentation and discussion of new findings
in molecular and supramolecular chemistry of germanium, tin, and lead.
Compounds of these metals have long been at a center stage of chemistry,
with far-reaching impact on products, processes, and technologies that
continue to underpin chemical industries and quality of life. In many
fields, they continue to show their mettle, and important results emerge
continually. Recently, germanium, tin, and lead compounds have shown
promising new applications in organic synthesis, materials chemistry,
surface chemistry, catalysis, analytical chemistry, and as multiply
bonded intermediates. Around 250 scientific participants from around
the world are expected to attend this conference.
