Welcome

Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the upcoming International Symposium on Thermodynamics of Metal Complexes (ISMEC 2025), that will be held in Granada, Spain, from June 9th to 12th, 2025.

ISMEC is the annual congress of the International Group for the Thermodynamics of Metal Complexes (ISMEC Group – International Group for the Thermodynamics of Complexes), an open group in which researchers freely meet to share ideas, promote research, best practices and culture in the field of the Thermodynamics of metal complexes.

ISMEC 2025 will be the 53rd edition of a series of meetings that begun in Parma in 1973 as the annual meeting of the Italian Gruppo di Termodinamica dei Complessi and later developed into a congress of international scope.

The scientific program will focus on the most recent advances in thermodynamics and kinetics of coordination processes, covering the fields of analytical, biomedical, environmental, inorganic and physical chemistry.

Main topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Complexation thermodynamics and kinetics
  • Solution equilibria and coordination chemistry
  • Complexation processes in supramolecular chemistry
  • Metal-based reactivity and catalysis
  • Metal-complex interactions with biomolecules
  • Metals in diseases: transport, homeostasis and toxicity
  • Metal-based drugs: diagnosis and therapy
  • Metal complexes of environmental and biological interests
  • Nanostructured metal complexes
  • Analytical methods and sensors based on complexation equilibria
  • Computer methods for equilibrium analysis

We look forward to welcoming you in Granada in June 2025!

The organizing committee
