Preface
The XI th International Conference on Boron Chemistry (IMEBORON XI)was
held 28 July 2 August 2002 at the main building of the Russian
Academy of Sciences (RAS) in Moscow, Russian Federation. The conference
was sponsored by IUPAC, UNESCO, Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology
of the Russian Federation, RAS, Russian Foundation for Basic Research,
Borax Europe Ltd., and JSC AVIABOR (Dzerzhinsk, Russia)
and was organized by the A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement
Compounds, the N.D.Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, the N.S.Kurnakov
Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry and Institute of Physical
Chemistry of Ceramics of the RAS, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University,
State Scientific-Research Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Organoelement
Compounds, and VIAM State Research Center.
This conference, held every three years,provides an international forum
for the presentation of the latest results and future trends as well
as for discussion of the key problems in various fields of boron chemistry.
The main goal of the conference is to analyze the state of the art in
boron chemistry, to encourage the newcomers to the field, and to give
the experts fresh motivation for future developments. For a long time,
boron compounds have played an important role in fundamental chemistry
owing to the fortunate combination of their unique structure and their
wide range of practical applications.
The presentations at two parallel scientific sessions (organoboron
compounds and inorganic boron compounds) cover the following areas:
theoretical studies, organoboron compounds, boranes and carboranes,
metallaboranes and metallacarboranes, applications in organic synthesis
and catalysis, applications in medicine, materials, and polymers. Two
hundred and twenty scientists from 14 countries took part in the conference
and presented 25 invited lectures, 30 oral communications, and 87 posters.
This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry contains most of the
invited lectures presented at the IMEBORON XI. On behalf of the Organizing
Committee, I thank all the authors for their contribution to\ the success
of the conference and the sponsors for their financial support.
