Preface
The 15th International Conference on Physical
Organic Chemistry (ICPOC 15) was held on the west coast of Sweden in
the heart of Scandinavia in central Göteborg on 813 July
2000 in the middle of the summer. The conference was the first in the
series to be held in the Nordic countries of Europe. IUPAC Conferences
on Physical Organic Chemistry are for physical organic chemists working
in all fields of science and its applications. ICPOC 15 covered progress
in physical organic chemistry and emphasized its interaction with other
sciences.In particular, those ways in which physical organic chemistry
has crept into some "hot "fields were highlighted.
The conference attracted 268 active participants and 51
accompanying persons. The program comprised 14 plenary lectures, 30
invited lectures, 75 oral contributions, 119 poster presentations, and
3 after-lunch concerts. The organizers are grateful for support from
IUPAC, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute
for Chemistry, The Swedish National Committee for Chemistry, The Swedish
Chemical Society, and Organic Chemistry at Göteborg University.
