Future Meetings

Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference
The 57th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference will be held at Ohio State U., Columbus, Ohio Oct. 21-23, 1999. This year the main symposium, entitled "From Nucleic Acids to Proteins", will be in honor of Prof. M. Sundaralingam in celebration of his four decades as an X-ray crystallographer. The symposium is being organized by M. Caffrey (caffrey@chemistry.ohio-state.edu) and R. Rubin (rubinj@aa.wl.com). There will be an additional symposium entitled "Crystal Growth" which is being organized by G. DeTitta (detitta@hwi.buffalo.edu).
For continuing conference updates, see http://www.pitt.edu/~geib/pds.html. General inquiries should be addressed to the Conference Chair, B. Craven (craven@grove.iup.edu).

Physical Methods in Coordination and Supramolecular Chemistry
The XIII International Conference "Physical Methods in Coordination and Supramolecular Chemistry" will be held Sept. 7-10, 1999 in Chisinau, R. Moldova. N. Gerbeleu (R. Moldova) is chairman and J. Lipkowski, (Poland) as co-chairman.
Invited speakers include: S. Andronati (Ukraine), M. Antipin (Russia), J.-L. Atwood (USA), A. Garnovskii (Russia), G. Gokel (USA), I. Goldberg (Israel), I. Haiduc (Romania), M. Fonari (R. Moldova), G. Kamalov (Ukraine), Yu. Kokunov (Russia ), V. Kravtsov (R. Moldova), V. Leovac (Yugoslavia), J. Lipkowski (Poland),

Topics addressed with include magnetochemistry and resonance methods (NMR, ESR, NCPR, Mossbauer spectroscopy etc.), fundamental problems of Coordination and Supramolecular Chemistry, application of spectroscopy (X-ray radiation, circular magnetical and optical dichroism, Raman scattering, of atomic circular polarised emission) to the study of Coordination and Supramolecular Compounds. The Investigation of the structure and reactivity of Metalocomplexes in the gas phase, using Mass Spectrometry, Photoelectron XPS and UPS spectroscopy, IR and UV vacuum spectroscopy etc., Original techniques in Coordination and Supramolecular Chemistry.
The deadline for applications is June 1, 1999 The official language of the Conference is English. Registration is $100 (participants from Eastern Europe countries and the formerUSSR -$20), students are $50 ($10 for East Europe countries and ex-USSR). Entrance visa for Republic of Moldova can be obtained at arrival in the specialised office in the Airport of Chisinau City.
