International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneois Catalysis, 13-18 September 2009

Early bird registration before June 1st, 2009

The aim of this international meeting is to bring together practioners in the three fields of catalysis, heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzyme, that utilize mostly nanosize particles. Recent advances in instrumentation, synthesis and reaction studies permit the nanoscale and molecular characterization of the catalyst systems, often for the same reaction, under similar experimental conditions. It is hoped that this circumstance will permit the development of correlations of these three different fields of catalysis on the molecular level. To further this goal we aim to uncover and focus on common concepts that emerge from nanoscale studies of structures and dynamics of the three types of catalysis. The use of these catalysts in selective organic transformations will also be an important topic of this conference.

The meeting will be held in Aula Magna located at the campus of Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden on September 13-18, 2009.
