Pre-IMEBoron Symposium
Boron Meets π:
Toward Transformative Functional Materials
Nagoya University, September 5, 2026.
Supported by IRCCS, Nagoya University, and the Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Area (A),
“π-Molecular Complexity”.
You are cordially invited to participate in the Pre-IMEBoron Symposium: “Boron Meets π: Toward Transformative Functional Materials,”, which will be held on September 5, 2026 at Nagoya University, Japan. This symposium will take place as a pre-event of the 18th International Meeting on Boron Chemistry (IMEBoron-18) and is organized with the support of the Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Area (A), “π-Molecular Complexity.”
In this one-day symposium, we aim to share and discuss recent advances in molecular functions that have emerged from the sophisticated integration of boron chemistry and π-electron materials chemistry. This event will also provide an excellent opportunity for young researchers in the Nagoya area to engage directly with leading scientists in the field.
We look forward to welcoming and meeting you in Nagoya.
