ISACS3 provided a state-of-the-art review of current research developments in inorganic and materials chemistry. Topics covered included: 

  • Inorganic materials 
  • Metal-organic frameworks 
  • Organometallic chemistry 
  • Renewable energy 
  • Metals in biology 
  • Coordination chemistry 
  • Catalysis 
  • Small molecule activation 
  • Metal-ligand multiple bonds 
  • Atom transfer reactions 
  • Ligand architectures
  • Surfaces and interfaces      

The plenary programme was supplemented by large poster sessions.
