Welcome message

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Commission, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend the XXII International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis (XXII ISHC) to be held on 24-29 July 2022 in Lisbon, at Faculty of Sciences of the Universidade de Lisboa. It is a great honor for us to host this well established key conference on Homogeneous Catalysis for the first time in Portugal, and we should acknowledge the International Advisory Board members of ISHC for giving us this opportunity. We will do our best in order to achieve in Lisbon another memorable scientific event as the successful previous editions held biennially in Corpus Christi (1978), Dusseldorf, Milan, Leningrad, Kobe, Vancouver, Lyon, Amsterdam, Jerusalem, Princeton, St. Andrews, Stockholm, Tarragona, Munich, Sun City, Florence, Poznan, Toulouse, Ottawa, Kyoto and Amsterdam (2018), in chronological order.

All aspects of Homogeneous Catalysis, including metal complex catalysis, organo-, bio-, electro-, photo- and nanocatalysis, cooperative catalysis, heterogenized homogeneous catalysis, multiphase homogeneous catalysis, catalysis in unconventional media, noncovalent interactions in catalysis, mechanistic investigations, computational approaches, etc. will be highlighted in both already established and emerging fields.

The Conference venue is in a privileged position concerning travel requirements. Lisbon, voted as the "World´s Leading City Break Destination” and the “Europe´s Leading City Tourist Board” (World Travel Awards, 2020), is easily reachable from any place of the world, and the airport and the main train stations are located inside the town itself (this is a unique case within the European capitals). The Conference venue is also in the town and with close access to public transportation, including metro, e.g., from/to the airport.

Attention will also be paid to the social programme, providing opportunities for mixing, visits to cultural places and excursions to sites of unique natural beauty, and for tasting the typical Portuguese cuisine and … the inspiration of our wines from various demarcated regions!

We'll be most pleased to welcome you herein and we hope you will enjoy a pleasant time along all the Conference, from both scientific and social points of view. Looking forward to meeting you in Lisbon,

Committees

About this collection

Homogeneous catalysis plays a key role in synthetic chemistry, design of materials/drugs, industrial, and biological processes. Its progress is dependent on the appropriate design of catalysts and use of adequate strategies, from metal complex catalysis, through nanocatalysis, and on to biocatalysis.

The International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis (ISHC) series (initiated in 1978) has provided a fundamental contribution to the chemical community for the discussion of new trends in catalysis and exchange of ideas. This latest edition is scheduled for 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal.

We would very much like to invite you to contribute to our Virtual Collection which is held in collaboration with the journals of Chemistry Europe. This collection will cover all aspects of homogenous catalysis, and all participants of the XXII ISHC are welcome to contribute. All contributions must pass through rigorous Peer Review to be considered for acceptance*. Once accepted all papers submitted to the "International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis Virtual Collection" will be collected here for all to read and share. Around the time of the conference all papers will be available Free-to-Read.

* Accepted articles will be published throughout the year in regular issues and collected on the dedicated page. We have chosen this process of publication to limit the time that accepted authors should wait for their final page numbers and citation.
