INVITATION
Dear Colleagues,
The 26th International SPACC (The Society of Pure and Applied
Coordination Chemistry) Symposium will be held at The University ofGlasgow, Scotland, UK from December 12 to December 14, 2019. The
International Advisory and Organizing Committee cordially invite you toattend the symposium and participate in its scientific and social programs.
The main theme of the symposium will be “Metal Complexes Toward aGreen and Sustainable Future.” The symposium will focus on greener
processes using unique metal complexes and sustainable development
toward new functional materials, as well as basic research on organic,
inorganic, and biological chemistry for future inventions.
As with previous SPACC Symposia, it is intended that this Symposium
will provide a platform for young scientists to exchange scientificinformation among themselves and with the selected leading scientists. This
series of symposia was initiated in Tokyo about a quarter century ago by theSPACC fellow Prof. Yano, and has being held annually at different venues
around the world. It is our great pleasure to host this 26th Symposium inGlasgow, Scotland.
Presentations will consist of four categories – plenary lectures, invitedlectures, oral presentations, and poster presentations. Prizes will beawarded for the best presentations, especially for those given by students.
