On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Zaragoza, to the XXXVI Congress of the Specialized Group of Organometallic Chemistry (GEQO) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry that will take place in the Auditorium of Zaragoza between the 5th and the 7th of September 2018. This is already the XXXVI edition of this series, which started in 1981 in Alcalá de Henares and was also celebrated in the Aragón Community in 1985 in Jaca (Huesca). Now, it comes to Zaragoza, in which a long standing tradition in the Organometallic Chemistry research exists. GEQO2018 will cover a wide range of topics in and around the field of Organometallic Chemistry. As organizers, we are very proud of the Top-Quality Researchers we were able to gather as plenary and as invited speakers in this edition of GEQO2018. Moreover, we are confident that the selected 16 oral communications as well as the almost 150 posters presented will also contribute to the scientific excellence of this edition. We hope that you can find within this meeting the optimum environment to discuss and exchange stimulating ideas that could culminate in fruitful collaborations. Moreover, for those who have not visited yet Zaragoza, remember that our city has a rich heritage of historical monuments such as Basilica of El Pilar, San Salvador Cathedral, Aljafería Palace, the paintings of Goya or the Mudejar–UNESCO Heritage of Mankind as well as renewed infrastructures from the 2008 International Expo (Water Tower, Bridge Pavilion or river Aquarium). Additionally, you will be able to enjoy our exquisite gastronomy. Finally, we would like to thank all the plenary and invited speakers for accepting the invitation to participate in this conference and all the participants for deciding to attend GEQO2018. Also, all the persons that have collaborated in the organization, starting from the organizing committee, the scientific committee, session chairs and the Jury for posters/oral prizes are warmly acknowledged. We are extremely grateful for all support obtained from all our sponsors. Have a great time in Zaragoza and enjoy the XXXVI GEQO Congress.
Concepción Gimeno, Chair of the Organizing Committee of XXXVI GEQO Congress
