The abstract deadline for the Dalton Transactions Younger Researchers Symposium is TODAY (Friday 22nd July). If you want to present a poster prize, or be considered for the oral presentation you need to register by the end of the day.
The symposium in a great opportunity to meet postgraduates and postdocs working in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, and registration is FREE of charge (accommodation and the conference dinner cost comes to just £67).
Registration for delegates who do not wish to present their work will remain open until 19th August.

In this Dalton Transactions Hot Article, Cameron Jones and colleagues from Monash University, Australia prepared a series of extremely bulky secondary amines.
Deprotonation of the amines with LiBun NaH or KH resulted in alkali metal amide complexes. Reaction of the amides with germanium, tin or lead chloride yielded the first two-coordinate monomeric amido germanium(II) and tin(II) chloride complexes and a chloride bridged amido-lead(II) dimer.
These compounds hold potential as precursors for kinetically stabilised low oxidation state and/or low coordination number main group complexes.

In this Dalton Transactions Hot Article, Tristram Chivers and colleagues from the University of Calgary have reported several new thallium and indium complexes of multidentate chalcogen-centred PCP-bridged ligands.
The binuclear mixed-valent Tl(I)/Tl(III) complex with ligand [(Se)C(PPh2Se)2]2- exhibits a one-dimensional polymeric structure while in the polycyclic Tl(I)/Tl(I) complexes with [(SPh2P)2CE′E′C(PPh2S)2]2- (E′ = S, SE) the dimeric ligands remain intact.
Three heteroleptic In complexes were obtained by reaction of InCl3 with [Li(TMEDA)][HC(PPh2Se)2], [Li(TMEDA)]2[(E′)C(PPh2E)2] or [Li(TMEDA)]2[(E′)C(PPh2E)2] (E = S, E′ = S, SE).

Dalton Transactions was delighted to sponsor a poster prize at the 5th International FEZA conference in Spain earlier in July.
The prize was awarded to Shusuke Okada and colleagues for their poster presentation on ‘Enhancement of catalytic activity in one-pot oxidation using Pd/SiO2@Ti containing mesoporous silica core-shell type catalyst.’
The presentation was based on the work done in Professor Hiromi Yamashita’s lab at Osaka University. Professor Yamashita’s team work on nano-sized ecomaterials such as photocatalysts. To find out more about their research, visit their website.
The conference was chaired by Avelino Corma and Fernando Rey from ITQ, and included plenary lectures from Ryong Ryoo, Ferdi Schüth, Christian Serre, Michael Tsapatsis and Jihong Yu. Find out more by visiting the Federation of European Zeolite Associations website.
The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), Tarragonna, Spain, is running a summer school on organometallic catalysis next week.
The idea of the meeting is to bring together young researchers and distinguished chemists working in organometallic catalysis.
Dalton Transactions Managing Editor, Dr Jamie Humphrey,will be attending and speaking on how best to prepare an article for publication. Jamie will be joining a range of notable speakers including Profs Amos B. Smith III, John Hartwig, Paul Knochel and Polly Arnold. Visit the ICIQ Summer School webpage to find out more…
The addition of hydrogen-nitrogen bonds to carbon multiple bonds is an important reaction in organic synthesis, and here Laurel Schafter and Rashidat Oyinla from the University of British Columbia in Canada, use a transition metal catalyst to create five-membered N,O-chelating complexes.
