44th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress: Clean Energy Through Chemistry
-
Mehmet Mahramanlioglu
The 44th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress, which was organized by the Turkish Chemical Society, was held in Istanbul, Turkey from 11 to 16 August 2013. The Congress received support from IUPAC, which was greatly appreciated. The Congress attracted over 1700 participants from 92 countries, which is an indication of the level of esteem in which it is held.
The theme of the Congress was “Clean Energy Through Chemistry”.
The scientific program consisted of 10 plenary lectures, 71 keynote lectures, 500 oral presentations, and 1300 poster presentations. We were pleased to listen to valuable ideas in various fields of chemistry.
The scientific topics covered were as follows:
clean energy through chemistry
chemical analysis
chemistry for cultural heritage
physical chemistry
macro- and nanoscience and technology
green, sustainable, and environmental chemistry
life chemistry
materials science
chemistry education
innovation and chemical industry
The 11 papers in this issue arise from various symposia that were part of the central theme. Two contributions [by Profs. Martin Jansen (Germany) and Engin Akkaya (Turkey)] are from plenary lectures; one contribution [by Prof. Claudio Mota (Brazil)] is from the symposium “Clean Energy Through Chemistry”; five contributions [by Profs. Saverio Florio (Italy); Canan Unaleroglu (Turkey); Takao Ikariya (Japan); Hamdullah Kılıç (Turkey); and Guo-Xin Jin (China); are from the symposium “Chemical Synthesis”; and three contributions [by Profs. Ismail Hakki Boyaci (Turkey); Chulabhorn Mahidol (Thailand); and Mary Garson (Australia)] are from the symposium “Life Chemistry”.
A themed selection of 11 papers from the symposium on “Environmental Chemistry” will be published in the July issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
International Advisory Board: B. Albert (Germany); R. Ernst (Switzerland); M. Garson (Australia); H. Kagan (France); N. Kandile (Egypt); D. H. Lee (Korea); L. Lu (China); G. A. infante Mendez (Puerto Rico); N. Senesi (Italy); N. P. Tarasova (Russia); K. Tatsumi (Japan).
