International Symposium on Relations
between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis

Berlin, September 11 to 16, 2011


The XV. International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis (ISHHC-XV) will take place in Berlin, the capital of Germany, from September 11 to 16, 2011.

The scientific program starts on Monday, September 12 and ends on Friday, September 16.

The Symposium will be held at the Henry Ford Building of the Free University, Berlin, located in Dahlem. The reception desk is available by phone from Monday, Sept. 12 to Friday, Sept. 16

The aim of this international symposium is to bring together practitioners in the three fields of catalysis, heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzyme, that utilize mostly nanosize particles. Recent advances in instrumentation, synthesis and reaction studies permit the nanoscale characterization of the catalyst systems, often for the same reaction, under similar experimental conditions. It is hoped that this circumstance will permit the development of correlations of these three different fields of catalysis on the molecular level. To further this goal we aim to uncover and focus on common concepts that emerge from nanoscale studies of structures and dynamics of the three types of catalysts.

Another area of focus that will be addressed is the impact on and correlation of nanosciences with catalysis. There is information on the electronic and atomic structures of nanoparticles and their dynamics that should have importance in catalyst design and catalytic activity and selectivity.
