International Conference on Bimetallic Complexes

The 4th international conference on Bimetallic Complexes will be located at the Karlsruher Institute of Technology (KIT) in the Tulla lecture hall (Bldg. 10.40, Campus Süd) from October 11th till 12th 2018 organized through the DFG funded Transregional Collaborative Research Center 3MET.de. This conference is a continuation of our series starting 2012 at Kaiserslautern and continued 2013 at Karlsruhe and 2016 at Kaiserslautern. The aim of this conference is to learn about the latest developments in the synthesis of such complexes and their application in magnetism, catalysis and photochemistry. It will provide scientists the opportunity to exchange their experiences, and to meet and team with the 3MET researchers. In past conferences, many renowned speakers including Tobin Marks, Pierre Braunstein, Felix Tuczek and Thorsten Glaser in 2012, Makasatsu Shibasaki, Klaus Kern, Julia Laskin, Mark Johnson, Roberta Sessoli A. Stephen K. Hashmi and Franc Meyer in 2013 and Rhett Kempe, Matthias Tamm, Paul Chirik, Jürgen Heck, Jeffrey Long, Wolfgang Wernsdorfer, Birgit Weber, Evan Williams, Roland Mitric in 2016 presented their research. This year our progam includes again various interesting scientific topics and speakers. We invite you to visit our site and register to this event!
