The event will cover many topics of hypervalent halogen chemistry. Hypervalent iodine reagents are intensively used in organic chemistry as mild, safe, and economical alternatives to heavy metal or rare metal reagents. At the conference, the latest developments in the discovery, synthesis and application of hypervalent iodine compounds and other hypervalent halogen compounds will be presented. It will focus on their use as catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, materials science, and industrial applications.

Topics

• Synthesis, structure and bonding
• Applications in organic synthesis
• Mechanistic studies
• Coordination chemistry
• Applications in materials science
• Theoretical and spectroscopic studies
• Industrial applications
