✦ Synopsis

This article summarizes the four plenary lectures and 53 oral communications and provides the titles of 50 posters presented at the meeting that included 262 participants.

The first plenary lecture was presented by Prof. N. Tokitoh on "New Aspects in the Chemistry of Heteroatom-Containing Multiple Bonds." The first part of the lecture covered his area of interest about the age-old subject of the synthesis of tremendously crowded compounds, low-coordinate organoheteroatom compounds, such as divalent species of heavier group 14 elements 1; doubly bonded species of heavier group 14 elements 2; and a series of group 14 and 16 double-bonded compounds 3. He also showed the synthesis of the first examples of stable sila-aromatics, silabenzene 4 and silanaphthalene 6, and the first isolation of a stable distibene 5a and
