Surface chemistry plays a major role in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical processes taking place with the participation of TiO2. The synthesis methods, surface characterizations, theoretical research methods, and hardware over the last decade generated opportunities for progress in the surface science of this photocatalyst. Very recently, attention was paid to the design of photocatalysts at the nanoscale level by adjusting the types of exposed surfaces and their ratio, the composition and the surface structure of nanoparticles, and that of individual surfaces. The current theoretical methods provide highly detailed designs that can be embodied experimentally. The present review article describes the progress in the surface science of TiO2 and TiO2-based photocatalysts obtained over the last three years. Such aspects including the properties of macro- and nano-scale surfaces, noble-metal-loaded surfaces, doping with Mg and S, intrinsic defects (oxygen vacancies), adsorption, and photoreactions are considered. The main focus of the article is on the anatase phase of TiO2.

The 7th IUPAC International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry (ICHAC-7) was held in Shanghai, China, on 21-25 August 2004. This conference was co-organized by Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS); Chinese Chemical Society; Shanghai Society of Chemistry and Chemical Industry; and State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry and State Key Laboratory of Elemento-organic Chemistry. Three hundred participants attended the conference, with about 150 attendants from 23 different countries other than China. The scientific program consisted of 8 plenary lectures, 1 keynote lecture, 38 invited lectures, 56 p, and 120 posters. This conference focused on the following 6 major themes:- Organocatalysis- Heteroatom chemistry directed toward organic synthesis- Mechanistic and structural aspect of heteroatom chemistry- New heteroatom-containing materials- Biologically relevant heteroatom chemistry- Supramolecular chemistry of heteroatom.All the lecture sessions were held in Everbright Exhibition Center. The following highlighted lectures are representative of the quality of material presented at the conference:- Robert R. Holmes, University of Massachusetts, "Phosphoryl transfer enzymes and hypervalentphosphorus chemistry"- Christopher A. Reed, University of California at Riverside, "Strongest but gentlest: New acids fororganic and inorganic chemistry"- Xiyan Lu, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS, "Synthetic methodologies using tertiaryphosphines as nucleophilic catalysts"- Tetsuo Otsubo, Hiroshima University, "Functional oligothiophenes as advanced molecular electronicsmaterials"- Dao-Ben Zhu, Institute of Chemistry, CAS, "Recent advances of molecular material in theOrganic Solid Laboratory, CAS"- Ian Manners, University of Toronto, "Catalytic routes to rings, chains, and macromolecules basedon inorganic elements"- Masaaki Yoshifuji, Tohuku University, "Recent develpments in the chemistry of low-coordinatedorganophosphorus compounds"- Peter Jutzi, University of Bielefeld, "Cyclopentadienyl and ferrocenyl chemistry of some p-blockelements"- Andreas Pfaltz, University of Basel, "Design of heterocyclic ligands for asymmetric catalysis"The organizers also prepared a series of rich social programs for the participants of the conference, which included a welcome party and a city sightseeing tour of Shanghai. ICHAC-7 was a fruitful meeting for all participants, in particular, the young scientists and students who found a world forum to present and discuss their results, meet scientists from other countries, exchange experiences, and socialize with scientists from all fields of heteroatom chemistry. Many of these contacts have led to new cooperation and exchanges among students and young and senior scientists. In addition to the lectures in this issue, six lectures of this conference have been documented in the Chinese Journal of Chemistry, Vol. 23, Nos. 8,9 (2005).The 8th IUPAC International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry will be held in 2007 in Riverside, CA and will be hosted by Prof. Christopher A. Reed of the University of California at Riverside.Xiaoyu HuangConference Editor

The 20th International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics (ICCT 2008) was held in Warsaw, Poland, 3-8 August 2008. It was organized jointly by the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Science, both Faculties of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology and the Warsaw University, the Polish Chemical Society, and under the auspices of the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT). This conference was significant in a line of traditional meetings gathering biennially chemical thermodynamists from all over the world. Almost 300 participants from 39 countries presented 153 oral presentations and 174 posters, among the former ones 12 plenary and 27 invited lectures were given by distinguished researchers.The culminating event was the Rossini lecture given by Prof. Jürgen Gmehling from the University of Oldenburg in Germany, entitled "Present status and potential of group contribution methods for process development". Prof. Gmehling was awarded the prestigious Frederick D. Rossini Award, which has been given biennially to contemporary chemical thermodynamics for an outstanding contribution.Five 2008 IACT Junior Awards were awarded to young scientists for notable achievements presented during the conference in the form of an oral communication.The conference program was grouped into the following symposia:- Molecular simulations of fluid and statistical thermodynamics- Phase equilibria, supercritical fluids, and separation techniques- Electrolyte solutions and non-electrolyte mixtures including reactive chemical systems- Thermodynamics and properties in the biological, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food sectors- Nanosystems, nanodevices, and advanced materials- Thermochemistry, calorimetry, and molecular energetics- Ionic liquids- Surface and colloid chemistry- Industrial thermodynamics and databases- Thermodynamics frontiers and education- Modulated and oscillation temperature techniques- Environmental thermodynamicsThis issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry presents 16 papers selected from the plenary and invited lectures delivered at ICCT 2008 with an emphasis on industrial thermodynamics and thermochemistry. We hope that this selection will provide insight into the scientific program of the conference.The 21st International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, 1-6 August 2010.Tadeusz HofmanConference Editor
