The Sixteenth International Symposium on Relations between
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis (ISHHC-16) will beheld in Conference Hall, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan from
August 4 (Sun) to 9 (Fri), 2013, according to the decision at ISHHC
XV in Berlin. The ISHHC has been held in Brussels, Belgium (1974),Lyon, France (1977), Gröningen, The Netherlands (1981), Asilomar,USA (1983), Novosibirsk, Russia (1986), Pisa, Italy (1989), Tokyo,Japan (1992), Balatonfüred, Hungary (1995), Southampton, UK(1999), Lyon, France (2001), Evanston, USA (2003), Florence, Italy(2005), Berkeley, USA (2007), Stockholm, Sweden (2009), andBerlin, Germany (2011) every two or three years.
us,Aims of ISHHC are to link three fields of catalysis: heterogeneous,hehomogeneous and enzyme, and to understand the catalysis on themolecular level. Recent advances in instrumentation, synthesis
and reaction studies will permit the molecular–nanoscopic scalecharacterization of the catalyst systems for similar reactions andthe development of molecular-level integration and correlations ofthese three different fields of catalysis. To further this goal we aimto uncover new aspects and common concepts that emerge fromthe molecular–nanoscopic scale studies of active structures anddynamics of the three types of catalysts, achieving catalyst designand synthesis and addressing key issues of catalytic activity andselectivity.
We heartily invite all of you who are interested in the link of thethree fields in catalysis and who intend to understand the catalysis
on the molecular level, to the ISHHC-16 in 2013, Japan.
