ISMEC 2024

ISMEC are the annual congresses of the International Group for the Thermodynamics of Complexes, the ISMEC Group, an open group in which researchers freely meet to share info and ideas in the field of the Thermodynamics of Complexes, whose main scope is to take initiatives and organize events and activities to promote research, best practices, training and culture in that field. ISMEC 2024 will be the 50th edition of a series of meetings that begun in Florence in 1974 as the annual congress of the Italian group of “Gruppo di Termodinamica dei Complessi”. The scientific program will be organised in lectures, oral communications and poster sessions, focused on recent scientific advances in the thermodynamics and the kinetics of complexes in the fields of Analytical, Biomedical, Environmental, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Main topics include, but are not limited to: - Complexation thermodynamics and kinetics - Solution equilibria and coordination chemistry - Complexation processes in supramolecular chemistry - Metal-based reactivity and catalysis - Metal-complex interactions with biomolecules - Metals in diseases: transport, homeostasis and toxicity - Metal-based drugs: diagnosis and therapy - Metal complexes of environmental and biological interests - Nanostructured metal complexes - Analytical methods and sensors based on complexation equilibria - Computer methods for equilibrium analysis
