The XIII International Symposium on Inorganic Biochemistry

We are pleased to congratulate Henryk Kozłowski, a Chartered Scientist of the Royal Society of Chemistry, on his 70th birthday and >90 articles in Dalton Transactions (including Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions).Henryk Kozlowski

Dalton Transactions is delighted to be sponsoring the XIII International Symposium on Inorganic Biochemistry, organized between 1st and 6th September 2015 in Karpacz, Poland. The first International Symposium on Inorganic Biochemistry, first of the series of conferences organized by Henryk, also took place in Karpacz, and now, three decades later, it is there again, in close proximity to where it took place for the first time. This year’s conference will be quite special; we will all celebrate Henryk’s very important anniversary.

As usual, the conference aims to provide a valuable discussion forum on recent advances in cross-cutting fields of inorganic, coordination and bioinorganic chemistry with biology and medicine, in particular discussing topics such as chemical structure and thermodynamics, solution equilibria and coordination chemistry of metals with biomolecules; transport, homeostasis and toxicity of metals in diseases; metal-based therapy and diagnostics. More information will soon be available at www.henryk.uni.wroc.pl.

Henryk Kozłowski is the founder of Polish bioinorganic chemistry, currently working at the interface between chemistry and biology. At the Department of Chemistry, University of Wroclaw, he created one of the most dynamic research teams – the Bioinorganic and Biomedical Chemistry group. Apart from his contribution to the Royal Society of Chemistry, the list of his most important honors and awards include: the Membership of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the National Science Centre, honorary doctorates from the Taras Shevchenko University in Kiev and the University of Gdansk, the prestigious Marie Curie National Science Award in Chemistry and numerous awards of the Minister of Polish Science.

Henryk has been a visiting Professor at the Universities of Strasbourg, Siena, Ferrara, Florence, Sassari, Cagliari, Lille, Dunkirk and Paris. His scientific achievements include 33 supervised PhDs, a Hirsch index of 42, over 500 original papers, 17 book chapters, over 350 invited lectures given at international conferences and at various universities; he has been cited over 9400 times.

Happy birthday, Henryk!

Professor Warren Piers wins Humboldt Research Award

Warren Piers

Warren Piers

We are very proud to announce that Professor Warren Piers (Associate Editor, Dalton Transactions Editorial Board) has recently been elected as the recipient of a Humboldt Research Award.

This award is conferred in recognition of lifetime achievements in research. In addition, the award winners are invited to carry out research projects of their own choice in cooperation with specialist colleagues in Germany, thereby further promoting international scientific cooperation.

Talking about his award, Professor Piers said “This is an exciting chance for me to deepen my relationships with German colleagues and develop collaborations with leading scientists in the area of catalysis using first row transition metal-based compounds.  I’m very grateful to the Humboldt Foundation for this opportunity.”

Professor Piers was nominated for this award by Professor Reiner Anwander, Universitaet Tuebingen, Germany.

Further information can be found on the Humboldt Foundation website.

Mercury-grabbing ionic liquids hit the gas

Scientists in the UK and Malaysia have disclosed the research behind a fast and safe commercial technology for removing mercury from natural gas. The technology is the first solid-supported ionic liquid to be used at an industrial scale, and its development, from laboratory to full plant operation, took just four years.

The mercury-removing ionic liquid system was commercialised for use within the petroleum gas production industry

The mercury-removing ionic liquid system was commercialised for use within the petroleum gas production industry

The vast volume of natural gas that is processed annually by industry contains a pernicious contaminant – hundreds of tons of mercury. This corrosive metal is intrinsically present within hydrocarbon deposits, and it must be removed to mitigate catastrophic damage, not only to the environment but also to the gas-processing plants.
