2nd International Symposium on Intermetallic Compounds
in Methanol Steam Reforming
85737 Ismaning, Commundo Tagungshotel, Seidl-Kreuz-Weg 11
The high potential of intermetallic compounds in heterogeneous catalysis is increasingly recognized and is a very dynamically developing field. The meeting will cover the latest developments regarding synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties of intermetallic compounds, particularly in terms of the methanol steam reforming.
This symposium, organised within the framework of the COST action CM0904, will provide opportunity for discussion of recent highlights of the research related to the COST action. In addition, the symposium will be open for external contributors as well. Keynote lectures, communications and poster contributions will be presented.

Joint C-MAC and COST CM0904 EuroSchool on Intermetallic Compounds
in Catalysis Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Physik fester Stoffe,
Nöthnitzer Str.40, 01187 Dresden
The EuroSchool addresses the timely topic of intermetallic compounds in catalysis. Intermetallic compounds play a major role on conventionally supported heterogeneous catalysts by being formed under reducing pre-treatment conditions or during reaction. In addition, they can form the basis for a knowledge-based approach in catalysis, enabling fast development and innovation.
The EuroSchool starts with a general introduction to intermetallic compounds - a class of metallic compounds with very interesting chemical and physical properties.
It provides insight into heterogeneous catalysis and the interaction of molecules with surfaces. The occurrence and forming conditions of intermetallic compounds in catalysis is elucidated before exemplifying the advantages of using intermetallic compounds in catalysis and the knowledge-based approach on two examples.
Finally, the feasibility of industrial syntheses protocols for these materials is shown.
The lectures are presented by the leading experts in the different fields and comprehend tutorials for most of the lectures. In addition, time for discussion with the lecturers, a lab visit and an excursion to one of the global leaders in chemical industry is foreseen.
