| Symposia Scopes and Organizers |
Symposium 1: Elemental SpeciationChair: Alfredo Sanz-Medel, Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, University of Oviedo, c/Julian Claveria, 8 33006 Oviedo Spain; Tel: +34-985-103474; Fax: +34-985-103125; E-mail: asm@uniovi.esCo-Chair: Kin-ichi Tsunoda, Department of Chemistry, Gunma University, Kiryu 376-8515, Japan; Tel: +81-277-301250; Fax: +81-277-301251; E-mail: tsunoda@chem.gunma-u.ac.jp Co-Chair: Qiuquan Wang, Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel/Fax: +86-592-2181796; E-mail: qqwang@xmu.edu.cn Information regarding the distribution of element chemical species in the environment and/or biological compartments is important for understanding their environmental behavior and/or biological functions. This symposium will focus on the recent approaches of both fundamental and application studies on elemental speciation. Symposium 2: Environmental AnalysisChair: Guibin Jiang, State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, P.O. Box 2871, Beijing 100085, China; Tel: +86-10-62849179; Fax: +86-10-62849179; E-mail: gbjiang@rcees.ac.cnCo-Chair: X Chris Le, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G3; Tel: +1-780-492-6416; Fax: +1-780-492-7800; E-mail: xc.Le@ualberta.ca Environmental analysis is particularly concerning because of its essence in environmental studies. Currently, a wide range of techniques, including spectroscopic techniques, have been used to study the concentrations, species, transformation and toxicities of various environmental pollutants. The scope of the symposium covers topics related to environmental sampling and pretreatment, separation and detection techniques for the analysis of environmental pollutants (such as heavy metals, organometallic compounds, VOCs, POPs, pesticide residues etc.), emerging detection techniques, field measurement technologies, environmental standard and QA/QC. Symposium 3: Frontier of Elemental Mass SpectrometryChair: Gary M Hieftje, Department of Chemistry, A150 Chemistry Building, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA; Tel: +1-812-855-2189; Fax: +1-812-855-0958; E-mail: Hieftje@indiana.eduCo-Chair: Wei Hang, Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel: +86-592-2184618; Fax: +86-592-2183052; E-mail: weihang@xmu.edu.cn Atoms' identities are determined by their mass-to-charge ratio (via the mass analyzer) and their concentrations are determined by the number of ions detected. Although considerable research has gone into customizing mass spectrometers for atomic ion sources, it is the ion source that differs most from other forms of mass spectrometry. These ion sources must also atomize samples, or an atomization step must take place before ionization. Inductively-coupled plasmas, especially when used with mass spectrometers, are recognized for their outstanding analytical performance and their versatility. The scope of the symposium covers topics related to theory, techniques and applications of mass spectrometry for elemental qualification and quantification. It includes recently development of various ion sources (tandem sources), detection schemes, hyphenated techniques, and application for novel/complex samples. Symposium 4: Spectroscopic Sensing of Bio-related SpeciesChair: Eric V Anslyn, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, USA; Tel: +1-512-4710068; Fax: +1-512-4717791; E-mail: anslyn@ccwf.cc.utexas.eduCo-Chair: Norio Teramae, Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, Aoba-ku, Sendai, 980-8578, Japan; Tel: +81-22-795-6549; Fax: +81-22-795-6552; E-mail: tera@anal.chem.tohoku.ac.jp Co-Chair: Yunbao Jiang, Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel/Fax: +86-592-2185662; E-mail: ybjiang@xmu.edu.cn Spectral sensing of bio-related species has been a subject of intensive current interest. This Symposium will focus on basic and applied attempts in that regard by following signals of fluorescence/phosphorescence/chemiluminescence, absorption, CD, and SPR etc. Molecular designing and assembling of chemo-/biosensors by using chemical, supramolecular and biomimetic principles will be covered. Symposium 5: Spectroscopy for NanomaterialsChair: Shigang Sun, State Key Laboratory for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel: +86-592-2180181; Fax: +86-592-2183047; E-mail: sgsun@xmu.edu.cnCo-Chair: Yanxia Jiang, Department of Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel/Fax: +86-592-2180181; E-mail: yxjiang@xmu.edu.cn The theme of the international symposium on "Spectroscopy for Nanomaterials" is related with spectroscopic development of nanomaterials. It includes chemistry, materials, biology and their applications, spreading from synthesis and analysis to environmental protection, power sources and life science. The symposium will cover not only diverse applications of various spectroscopies (atomic spectrometry, molecular spectrometry, mass spectrometry, X-ray spectroscopy, laser spectrometry, etc.) in studies of nanomaterials, but also the relevant development of fundamental and methods of spectroscopy. This symposium will gather scientists in the fields of spectroscopy and nanomaterials together to communicate the current development and researches, and direct coordinately for the advancement of spectroscopy in chemistry and nanomaterials. Symposium 6: Surface-Enhanced Spectroscopies (SES)Chair: Zhongqun Tian, State Key Laboratory for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel: +86-592-2186979; Fax: +86-592-2183047; E-mail: zqtian@xmu.edu.cnCo-Chair: Bin Ren, State Key Laboratory for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; Tel: +86-592-2186532; Fax: +86-592-2085349; E-mail: bren@xmu.edu.cn 2007 is the 30th anniversary of the discovery of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and a special symposium will be organized to commemorate this event. Surface-enhanced spectroscopies make use of the surface enhancement provided by materials at the nanometer scale to significantly improve the detection sensitivity and/or spatial resolution and are now experiencing a new surge. This is reflected not only by the expansion of the family members, but also by the exponential expansion of its applications in life-, bio-, and nano-related systems, which has greatly stimulated the research toward the theory of surface-enhanced spectroscopies. The scope of the symposium covers topics related to theory, techniques
and applications of surface-enhanced spectroscopy, including
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (hyper, CARS), surface-enhanced
infrared spectroscopy, surface-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy,
tip-enhanced spectroscopy (Raman, CARS, Fluorescence, SHG). |
