Symposium

SYMPOSIUM OF THE INTERNATIONAL  LABORATORY OF ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY

 

supported by Russian Scientific Foundation http://rscf.ru/

Dear colleagues,

         We would like to invite you to take part in the Symposium of the International Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry, to be held in Saint Petersburg State University campus at Petrodvorets on November 12, 2014. Symposium is devoted to the studies of metal-mediated and metal-catalized transformations of nitriles and isocyanides.

International Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry, established in 2014 with the support of the Russian Science Foundation, is based on the Department of Physical Organic Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, St. Petersburg State University and the Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal). The head of the Laboratory is corresponding member of Russian Academy of Sciences Vadim Yu. Kukushkin. Research work of the laboratory is devoted to the study of the reactivity of small molecules and the development of approaches to their activation by metal-mediated and metal-catalized reactions in order to obtain new compounds with useful properties.

The main topics of the Symposium:

- Metal-mediated and metal-catalized transformations of nitrile and isocyanide functions;

- Oxidative functionalization of C–H bonds in alkanes;

- Catalytic activity of platinum group metal complexes in hydrosilylation reactions of unsaturated substrates;

- Structural methods in the metal-mediated and metal-catalized processes investigations.

 

The scientific program will include plenary lectures and oral presentations.

Chair: Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Vadim Yu. Kukushkin (SPSU)
