oa The Chemistry of the Platinum Group Metals

Following a successful meeting held in Bristol in 1981, the second international conference to deal entirely with the chemistry of the platinum group metals was held at the University of Edinburgh in July 1984, sponsored by the Dalton Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The conference attracted over three hundred participants from both academic and industrial organisations in twenty three countries. There were twenty seven lectures, and in excess of one hundred posters presented during the week. The lectures are summarised here, while a book containing abstracts of the posters only is available from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
