oa Fourth International Congress on Catalysis

The Fourth International Congress on Catalysis took place in Moscow during the last week in June, and was followed by three specialised Symposia, two of which were also held in Moscow and one in Novosibirsk. This Congress provided, as did its predecessors, a useful forum for the exchange of ideas and experience: an impression of the Congress and a review of the papers relevant to the platinum metals is given in this article.
