Each year IUPAC endorses a large number of independently organized conferences, symposiums and workshops that cover a wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. Endorsement by IUPAC attests to the quality of the scientific program and indicates the host country’s assurance that scientists from all countries may participate. The conference must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization. See program details.

6th International Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of the Transactinide Elements (TAN19)

  • This event has passed.

TAN19 is the sixth in the series of international conferences dedicated to recent achievements and developments in experiments and theory of the chemistry and physics of transactinide elements. The scientific program will cover experimental and theoretical aspects of synthesis of the superheavy elements, nuclear reactions, nuclear structure, chemistry, atomic properties, and related topics. All topics in the scope of this conference shall be discussed. Especially welcome are the following topics from both experimental and theory side:

  • Theories and experiments of heaviest-element synthesis
  • Nuclear reaction studies
  • Nuclear structure and spectroscopy
  • Atomic physics studies
  • Chemical properties of transactinide elements
  • Technical developments
  • Large-scale facilities in the field of superheavy element research
