International Symposium on Reactive Intermediates and Unusual Molecules (ISRIUM) 2018

The conference is one in a series of meetings of chemists who share an interest in understanding the mechanisms by which chemical transformations take place, and identify the reactive intermediates that occur in the course of these transformations. ISRIUM 2018 seeks to bring together on Monte Verità practitioners from different fields in chemistry and adjoining disciplines ranging from molecular biology to materials science, who share a mechanistic interest.

The conference is one in a series of meetings of chemists who share an interest in understanding the mechanisms by which chemical transformations take place, and identify the reactive intermediates that occur in the course of these transformations. The success of this field since the 1950s had led to the incorporation of mechanistic thinking into the underlying vocabulary, discourse, and teaching of chemistry. ISRIUM 2018 seeks to bring together on Monte Verità practitioners from different fields in chemistry and adjoining disciplines ranging from molecular biology to materials science, who share a mechanistic interest.
