Report on Third Slovenian-Croatian Crystallographic Meeting, September 1994
The third joint meeting of Slovenian and Croatian crystallographers was
held in the well-known alpine resort of Kranjska gora, Slovenia, from 29-30
September 1994. The meeting was organized by the Department of Chemistry and
Chemical
Technology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia under the auspices of the University
of Ljubljana and promoted by the Slovenian Chemical Society. The meeting
was dedicated to Acad. Prof. Dr. Drago Grdenic on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
Profs. L. Golic, Ljubljana and B. Kamenar, Zagreb, co-chaired the
meeting.
The main topics of the meeting were:
- chemical crystallography
- industrial crystallography
- biological crystallography
- mineralogy
but contributions were also accepted from other fields of research connected
with crystals.
There were four invited lectures presented by:
- W. Fuller (University of Keele, UK): Structural studies of biological and industrial fibres using x-ray synchrotron
radiation sources and neutron beams
- T. Schirmer (University of Basel,
Switzerland): Crystal structures of porins: proteins that form transmembrane
pores
- M. Luic (Inst. R. Boskovic, Zagreb): Stereochemistry of hexanuclear
niobium clusters with the (Nb6Cl12)2+ unit
- A. Recnik (Inst. J.Stefan, Ljubljana): Structural analysis of planar faults in oxide ceramic systems
Altogether 70 crystallographers participated at the meeting and they
presented 51 oral contributions. Abstracts of the lectures and oral contributions
were published in the Book of Abstracts. Representatives of Nonius
B.V., Molecular Structure Corporation, Philips X-ray Int. and Siemens AG
Oestereich were also present at the meeting. The official language of the
meeting, both written and spoken, was English. Our Croatian colleagues are
preparing the 1995 meeting to take place near Zagreb.
