Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers poster prizes awarded at the 6th EuChemMS conference on Nitrogen Ligands

The 6th EuCheMS conference on Nitrogen Ligands was successfully held at on 13-17th, Beaune, France

This conference attracted scientists with an interest in the field of metal-nitrogen ligand chemistry from Europe and abroad. Scope of the 2015 meeting has been broadened by including recent advances from the fields of coordination chemistry, metal-organic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and materials & catalysis.

Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers was delighted to sponsor two poster prizes and we would like to join in congratulating the winners.

  • Amandine Conte-Daban (Université Paul Sabatier, France)

‘A new probe to determine the affinity constant of Cu2+ for Aβ’

  • Yasin Kuzu (TU Dortmund University, Germany)

‘Planar chiral 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)-1-(trimethylsilyl)ferrocenyl substituted silanols, silanolates and siloxanes’

The winners all received a certificate and a Royal Society of Chemistry book voucher as rewards.

Once again, our warmest congratulations to all our winners!

Open for submissions: 2015 Emerging Investigators Themed Collection

We are pleased to announce the inaugural Emerging Investigators themed collection of Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.

Emerging Investigators themed collection

Deadlines for submissions: 31 October 2015

This special collection is dedicated to researchers who are in the early stages of their independent academic career.

A broad range of subjects will be covered — studies falling into the scope of the journal are all welcome, especially interdisciplinary researches between inorganic chemistry and relevant areas, such as nano science, materials, energy, biochemistry, etc.

Research Articles and Reviews are considered for publication —. If you are interested in contributing a Review, please contact the Editorial Office for further information.

This Emerging Investigators collection will be a web-based thematic issue — Articles will be published in the most recent regular issue to enable timely distribution of the work; in the meanwhile, papers are being assembled as a web theme on the journal homepage to highlight their contribution to the special topic.

We hope this themed collection will feature many up-and-coming, early-career scientists whose work has the potential to influence future directions in science or result in new and exciting developments.

If you are interested in contributing to the themed collection, please mention the intention in “Comments to Editors” upon online submission.
