Dear Sir or Madam,

We are pleased to announce that the symposium "Advances in Coordination Chemistry 2025: A Bridging Symposium Between Japan and Korea" will be held from August 5 to 8, 2025, at Chuo University Korakuen Campus in Tokyo.

This symposium was originally established to foster friendship and collaboration between researchers in Japan and Korea in the field of inorganic chemistry, particularly coordination chemistry. Its mission is to promote outstanding chemical research in Asia and establish a leading presence on the global stage. First initiated in Kyoto under the leadership of Professor Susumu Kitagawa (Kyoto University) and Professor Masahiro Yamashita (Tohoku University), the symposium has been held biennially in principle, with the last pre-pandemic meeting held in Okinawa. Distinguished Korean participants have included globally recognized figures such as Prof. Kimoon Kim (POSTECH), Prof. Wonwoo Nam (Ewha Womans University), and Prof. Myunghyun Paik Suh (Seoul National University). Due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the symposium had not been held since the Okinawa meeting. In 2023, with the intent of reviving this important series, Prof. Jaeheung Cho (UNIST) and I co-organized a symposium under the title "Advances in Coordination Chemistry: A Bridging Symposium Between Korea and Japan" in Busan, Korea.

This year, for the first time, the symposium will be held as an officially sponsored event of the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC). This symposium will offer a forum for discussing the latest developments in coordination and organometallic chemistry. Key research topics will include coordination polymers, gas adsorption properties, catalysis involving metal complexes, functional properties such as photoresponsive and magnetic memory materials, photoswitching, fuel cells, electroluminescence, and related areas.

With this background in mind, we plan to invite eleven leading researchers each from Japan and Korea to give high-level presentations and engage in active discussions. Through this, we hope to further deepen academic exchanges between the two nations and contribute to the development of collaborative relationships in Asia and beyond.

Sincerely,
