ESOR-VI ------- 6th European Symposium on Organic Reactivity All details on http://www.chim.ucl.ac.be/CHIM/ESOR.html (!case sensitive) Louvain-la-Neuve 24 - 29 July 1997 _______________________________________ The Catholic University of Louvain, located in the Belgian city of Louvai= n la Neuve, will host the next conference entitled "European = Symposium on Organic Reactivity". This will be the sixth edition of a ser= ies of successful meetings held in Paris (1987), Padova (1989), = G=F6teborg (1991), Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1993) and Santiago de Compostela= (1995). Location ________ Louvain-la-Neuve is located about 30 km south of Brussels in the french-s= peaking part of Belgium. = The Conference site will be part of the academic facilities of the Cathol= ic University of Louvain (U.C.L.). = Scientific Programme ____________________ The meeting will be devoted to all aspects of physical organic chemistry.= The conference programme will focus on three main topics : 1. Mechanisms and reactivity in organic, bioorganic and organometallic c= hemistry, including theoretical approaches 2. Photochemical and electron transfer activation processes 3. Molecular recognition and enzyme mechanism. The programme will include 12 plenary lectures, two parallel sessions wit= h their own invited lectures. A limited number of oral = presentations will be selected among the submitted contributions. = Two separate poster sessions are planned on Friday afternoon and Monday a= fternoon with comfortable discussion times. The Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry will devote an issue to the pub= lication of proceedings of the Symposium. Active participants are invited= to submit their communications as short papers (4 pages in the Journal) = to be included in this issue. Manuscripts (~10 pages) should be typed dou= ble-spaced; an original and three copies, each one accompanied by artwork= should be supplied. They will be collected during the symposium and will= be evaluated by reviewers. Plenary lectures ________________ Twelve well-known scientists hace agreed to give Plenary Lectures on the = following topics : V. Balzani,University of Bologna, Italy, Supramolecular photochemistry.
