Main-Group Molecules to Materials-4 (MMM-4)

About Us

Welcome to the International Conference on Main-Group Molecules to Materials-4 (MMM-4) : February 9-12th, 2025

.

The goal of this event is to bring together academicians around the globe for presentation and discussion in all aspects of main-group chemistry. The chemistry of main group elements has been thriving in recent years. While much of the research has been focused on unravelling the preparative methods, reactivity and structure of compounds where the main group element is in a low oxidation state or has a low coordination number, there has also been a shift in emphasis on examining the properties of such compounds in applications ranging from photophysical properties to catalysis. This diverse and rich chemistry has prompted us to organize a meeting dedicated to this theme. Fortuitously,many young researchers working on thistheme have joined various IndianInstitutes in recent years and have beencontributing significantly.

Venue : B. Nag Auditorium(ground floor), Victor Menezes Convention Centre (VMCC), IIT Bombay
