NECTAR Advanced school on aqua ions and hydrolysis-related equilibria

About: Some chemical elements have characteristics that make the study and understanding of their chemical equilibria particularly difficult. These include elements with a strong hydrolytic character and those with several redox states. Both are the subject of this advanced school. The program will be the result of a dynamic ongoing discussion, please watch for updates.

Date: September 29^th, 2023.

Place: Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia.

Confirmed subjects and speakers:

• Strategies and practice in the selection of ‘best’ equilibrium constants by Wolfgang Hummel (Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland)


• Application of FAIR principles to equilibrium data by Stuart Chalk (University of North Florida, USA)


• Equilibrium constants for hydrolysable elements: from cradle to table by Montserrat Filella (University of Geneva, Switzerland), in collaboration with Xavier Gaona (KIT-INE, Germany), Taishi Kobayashi (Kyoto University, Japan), Demetrio Milea (Università degli Studi di Messina, Italy)


• Implications of kinetics of ligand exchange in the case of hydrolysable elements by Luis Laglera (Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain)


• Solution Chemistry & Complex Equilibria of Low-valent Elements by Premek Lubal (Masaryk University, Czech Republic )
