16th
International Conference on Phosphorus Chemistry
49
July 2004, Birmingham, England
The
ICPC is held every three years, attracting over 500 international
delegates from academia and industry. ICPC 16 will be sponsored
by Rhodia, the world's leading producer of phosphorus chemicals
and technologies. The program will include a diverse range
of topics, such as phosphines/phosphites as catalyst ligands,
the use of organophosphorus chemicals as Chromate replacements
in metal applications and intermediates in drug synthesis
and manufacturing. Also featured will be several emerging
new applications of phosphorus chemistry, such as in water
treatment, dentistry, electronics, and ionic liquids. Finally,
the symposia will take a close look at novel phosphorus chemistry
(e.g., Phosphorusbased polymers and novel bis phosphonate
chemicals).
Already attracting a number of keynote speakers, such as professor
M. Blackburn, University of Sheffield, who will be speaking
on his work in bioorganic phosphorus chemistry, the conference
looks set to be a success. The conference organizers hope
that this event will provide a valuable platform for encouraging
more partnering between industry and academia in phosphorus
chemistry and raise the profile of phosphorus chemistry both
in the industrial and academic sectors.
