Welcome to the 2019 Christmas Meeting of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Coordination and Organometallic Discussion Group. We wish to celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table with a two-day meeting in Dublin which will have a special focus on chemistry of the elements. We invite you to submit your abstract for oral or poster presentation with your favourite element in mind, and to give it a light-hearted festive touch.
