MEETINGS
23rd International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry
On behalf of the organizing committee, we warmly invite you to participate in the 23rd International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry. It will be held from Sunday 13th to Friday 18th of July 2008 at the University of Rennes 1 in Rennes, France. The meeting will continue the tradition: to allow participants to discuss recent innovations and developments in the field of organometallic chemistry, and to bring together chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers.
Chairmen Prof. P.H. Dixneuf and Dr. C. Bruneau

New catalysts, new oxidants, innovative methods for catalytic oxidation, ranging from bleaching to stereoselective oxy-functionalization, new mechanistic insights into oxidative processes including biomimetic oxidation and enzymatic processes, are typical topics for ADHOC conferences.

Environmental Bioinorganic Chemistry:
“From Molecular Models to Global Cycles”
2008 June 15-20, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, USA
EBIC brings together those studying biotic-inorganic interfaces from nanometers-nanoseconds to kilometers-gigayears, mingling chemists, ecologists, geneticists, oceanographers, computational biologists, and others. Topics range from transport, enzymology, and homeostasis in single cells or organisms to the environmental processes they experience and influence. Distinct among metals meetings for its evolution and geo- and aquatic-chemistry aspects, EBIC's view of the Periodic Table also includes radionuclides, metalloids, halides, silicon, and non-metal nutrients so as to identify cross-cutting themes in bioinorganic chemistry.
