Dear Colleagues,
The 29th International SPACC (The Society of Pure and Applied Coordination Chemistry) Symposium
will be held at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan, from September 5 to September 6, 2024. The
International Advisory and Organizing Committee cordially invite you to attend the Symposium andparticipate in its scientific and social programs. The main theme of the Symposium will be “Functionalmaterials and complexes for a sustainable future”. The Symposium will focus on the chemistry ofnovel and useful application of coordination chemistry that can open the novel area, afford novel
materials, and find insight of the organic, inorganic, and biological system for the new sustainablefeature.
As with previous SPACC Symposium, it is intended that this Symposium will provide a platform foryoung scientists to exchange scientific information among themselves and with the selected leading
scientists. This challenging symposium began 30 years ago in Tokyo by the SPACC fellow Prof.
Shigenobu Yano, and has being held annually and consecutively in the world. It is our great pleasure
to hold this 29th Symposium in Sapporo, Japan.
Presentations will consist of four categories, several plenary lectures, invited lectures, oralpresentations, and poster presentations.
