                                          Friday 7th  December 2012

The third bi-annual Irish Inorganic Chemistry Symposium was held at NUI Galway on Friday the 7th of December, 2012. This free of charge meeting comprised oral contributions from two special guest plenary speakers (Professor Stuart James of Queens University Belfast and Professor Mike Ward of the University of Sheffield), newly appointed academics and PDRAs alongside poster contributions from both PhD students and PDRAs. 

This one day conference provided a highly interdisciplinary forum for discussion of novel advances in the following areas of Inorganic chemistry:

                                                       Solvent-free synthesis (via mechanochemistry)
                                                                          Molecular Nanomagnets
                                                      Lanthanide and Actinide Coordination Chemistry 
                                                            Coordination Chemistry of Calix[n]arenes
                                    Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Cages and their Host-Guest Properties

The organizing committee would like to thank all speakers, chairs and delegates for their attendance. Please click on the link below for photos taken during this excellent symposium.
