The Proceedings of the 24th International Solvay Conference on
Chemistry comprise contributed short personal statements and
transcripts of in-depth discussions on 'Catalysis in Chemistry and
Biology' from a by-invitation-only select group of 48 eminent
scientists, including four Nobel Laureates, from all parts of the
world. The theme of the conference was presented in six sessions,
along which the Proceedings are organized. The first session on
'Homogeneous Catalysis,' chaired by Professor Robert Grubbs, is
devoted to basic research on catalysis in homogeneous solutions and
applications thereof. 'Heterogeneous Catalysis and Characterization
of Catalyst Surfaces,' chaired by Professor Gerhard Ertl, includes
extensive references to industrial applications of catalysis on
solid supports, and discussions on the experimental techniques used
in this field. 'Catalysis by Microporous Materials,' chaired by
Professor Mark E. Davis, is devoted to a detailed characterization
of this particular class of solid support catalysts, with special
emphasis on model analysis of the processes catalyzed by these
materials. 'Catalysis under Extreme Conditions: Studies at High
Pressure and High Temperatures - Relations with Processes in
Nature,' chaired by Professor Henk N W Lekkerkerker, broadens the
scope of the two preceding sessions with exciting illustrations.
The sessions on 'Catalysis by Protein Enzymes,' chaired by Prof.
JoAnne Stubbe, and 'Catalysis by Ribozymes in Molecular Machines,'
chaired by Prof. David Lilley, present at the same time an exciting
extension of and a contrast to the initial four sessions. The
combination of the six sessions provides an impressive overview,
giving innovative insights into relationships between catalysis in
chemical processes and in biological systems, and a unique outlook
to anticipated developments in the coming years and the more
distant future.
