The 16th International Meeting on Boron Chemistry (IMEBORON XVI) was held on the beautiful campus of The Chinese University of Hong Kong from July 9 to 13, 2017. This triennial meeting builds on the success of the previous 15 meetings held in different countries around the world over the past four decades, but this is the first time it has visited China.
This meeting provides an international forum for presentation and discussion, among both professionals and students alike, of new findings in all aspects of boron chemistry, including but not limited to inorganic and cluster boron chemistry, organic and bioorganic boron chemistry, boron in materials and boron in medicine, which will immensely benefit all researchers whose research interests touch upon an area related to boron chemistry. The meeting undertakes to widen and strengthen interactions/collaborative research among researchers worldwide. There were 222 registered participants who came from 19 different countries with the continents of Europe, North America, Asia and Australia represented. The program included five Plenary lectures, 22 Keynote lectures, 39 Invited lectures, 51 Contributed lectures and 61 Poster presentations.
At the closing ceremony, six poster prizes sponsored by Organometallics and Dalton Transactions were presented to the winners by Associate Editor of Organometallics Prof. F. P. Gabbaï and Associate Editor of Dalton Transactions Prof G.-X. Jin. These awards are to motivate the younger generation of boron researchers to strive for excellence in research.
We thank all the participants, in particular our speakers and sponsors, the advisory board and the members of local organizing committee, for their outstanding contributions for the success of this meeting. We are grateful to Prof. Hugh Burrows, Scientific Editor of Pure and Applied Chemistry, for the dedication of this special issue to IMEBORON XVI. We wish to express our gratitude to all contributors, reviewers, and PAC editorial team for their high quality and professional work. We hope that readers will find this special issue interesting and stimulating.
The next meeting (IMEBORON XVII) in this series will be held in Rennes, France, in July 2020, with Prof. J. F. Halet and Prof. G. Alcaraz (Université de Rennes 1) as Co-Chairs.
