On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to offer a warm welcome to all of you to the International Symposium on Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers and Interdisciplinary Sciences. The symposium is held at Tianjin Saixiang hotel, Tianjin, China on 24 September 2019. Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers International Symposia are a series of conferences sponsored by Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers (ICF), a collaborative journal developed by the Chinese Chemical Society, Peking University and the Royal Society of Chemistry.Previous meetings were held in London (2016), Nanjing (2017), and Sendai, Japan (2018). This symposia are devoted to the recent advances and new trends in inorganic chemistry as well as interdisciplinary studies at
the interfaces between inorganic chemistry and other subjects like nano technology, materials science, energy, catalysis and biochemistry etc.
      This year’s ICF symposium is financially supported and organized by Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers and the Key Laboratory of Advanced Energy Materials Chemistry, Ministry of Education in Nankai University. Under the chairmanship of Prof. Jun Chen at Nankai University, the local organizing committee has put together a one-day event with 10 invited lectures from ICF Editorial Board members and invited local speakers, who are leading experts in the field. Topics includes synthesis and properties of metal complexes, hydrogen production, photo- and bio-catalysis, as well as inorganic materials and their applications.
      We would like to encourage graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to participate in this symposium, which will offer opportunities to interact with these scientists. We hope that this symposium can provide an ideal forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences, fostering new research collaborations between Chinese inorganic chemists and international experts.
      This symposium is freely open to all delegates.

Prof. Jun Chen
