The Workshop is over. The organizers would like to warmly thank all participants for being such great lecturers and such a great audience. We think that this has been a really good meeting, with highly interesting new scientific results, and, in addition, a very good atmosphere. Thanks much again also to the helping crew, they did a great job.
By clicking here you may look up photos taken during the meeting, at the Bamberg excursion, and during the Workshop Banquet. The page that will open contains more than 70 "thumbnails", each ca. 10 kB size, so depending on the transmission speed loading of this site may take some time. Please be patient, have a coffee break. By clicking at the thumbnails you will get a large version, each ca. 250 kB what likewise might take long. You may wish to load the pictures into an appropriate tool (e.g. CorelDraw) and resize it in order to get proper printouts. Please accept that the pictures have been taken by a digital camera and that the resolution, especially of the group photo, is not as good as if it were taken by conventional means.
The pictures have been taken by Clemens Horn and Marc Wende.
For convenience, this page and the links on this page will persist for some time (probably some years), so if anyone who participated likes to check out again how to go to Erlangen or how to find his/her way to the "Entlas Keller" - look up this site. However, please note that links on this page to other sites (e.g., tourism) will be no longer updated.
We are very much looking forward to welcome you at a follow-up meeting. Any new information will be provided on this page.

Erlangen is located in Northern Bavaria, ca. 170 km north of Munich,
ca. 200 km east of Frankfurt, and 15 km north of Nuremberg.
Carbon-rich organometallic compounds represent a new and rapidly
emerging subfield that encompasses numerous frontiers of chemistry.
The subject of the workshop is one side bounded by adducts of metals and elemental carbon, Cx. These can be grouped into four types: (1) metal cluster carbide complexes, (2) fullerene complexes, (3) complexes in which sp hybridized carbon chains span two metals, and (4) other complexes of unstable fragments or allotropes - for example, cyclocarbons such as C3 or C18. The field then extends into "carbon rich" adducts such as (1) CxHy systems (x>>y) that represent precursors to or protonation products of Cx complexes, models or reference compounds for Cx ligands, or alternative unsaturated chains betweeen metals, and (2) CxOy systems, or novel new carbon oxides, and (3) related binary heteroatomic systems.

Coffee and drinks during the coffee breaks are free for invited participants (lecturers), for chairmen and for participants who registered on the DM 130,- package basis. Local colleagues are kindly asked to pay DM 3,- for each drink on a voluntary basis by using the cashier boxes standing around.
Poster Exhibition and Poster Session
Posters will be exhibited throughout the Workshop in the Institute entrance area. The poster session will be Tuesday, July 18, 17:45 in the Institute entrance area.
A list of posters, including late posters, may be found by clicking here.
On Monday evening, July 17, we will undertake an excursion to a beergarden of the typical Franconian style: the "Entlas Keller" which is located in the surroundings of the famous Erlangen "Bergkirchweih", an annual festival. Tables at the beergarden are reserved, it won't get crowded anyway and there are hundreds of tables. We will go there directly after the last Monday lecture. You may look up the way from the Institute of Organic Chemistry to the Entlas Keller by clicking here. Apart from good Erlangen beer (and other drinks) there will be dinner available at the Entlas Keller, they offer a rich menue. We recommend to taste the Franconian "Bratwurst", a grilled sausage with Franconian "Sauerkraut". However, all other dishes are delicious as well. The Entlas Keller meeting will be "open end". There is self-service at the the Entlas Keller. We kindly ask you to pay yourself for food and drinks.
