Many congratulations to the poster and presentation prize winners at the Annual Meeting onPhotochemistry of Coordination Compounds, held by the Photofunctional Complexes Research Association in Niigata, Japan from the 7th-9th August 2015.
For her presentation on “An Interfacial Europium Complex on SiO2 Nanoparticles for Valence-Controlled Emission System”, Ayumi Ishii (Aoyama Gakuin University) was awarded the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Presentation prize. Ryohsuke Ohno (Hokkaido University) was presented with the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Poster prize for his entry entitled “A luminescent Eu(III) complex: Novel design and synthesis strategies for the extended pi-conjugated system of ligands and their optical properties”.
This annual meeting consists of presentations on a wide variety of topics such as artificial photosynthesis, carbon dioxide conversion, photocatalysis, sensors, photovoltaics and water splitting. Two special lectures were given this year by Professors Osamu Ishitani (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Tadaaki Ikoma (Niigata University).
