International Physical Congress

At the end of that summer of 1927 the Fascist government of Benito Mussolini convened an International Physical Congress at Como on the southwestern end of Qord-like Lake Como in the lake district of northern Italy. The congress commemorated the centennial of the death in 1827 of Alessandro Volta, the Como-bom Italian physicist who invented the electric battery and after whom the standard unit of electrical potential, the volt, is named. Everyone went to Como except Einstein, who refused to lend his prestige to Fascism. Everyone went because quantum theory was beleaguered and Niels Bohr was scheduled to speak in its defense.

Although Robert Lespieau became best known in France for a laboratory school that focused on reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, he first gained international attention in another area. Van tHoff spoke at the third Congress of Dutch Scientists and Doctors, in Utrecht in 1891, on recent accomplishments in physical chemistry, putting the young Lespieau in very good company.

The nature and breadth of the physical techniques used to investigate solid catalysts continue to increase rapidly in complexity. This statement pertains specifically to Mossbauer spectroscopy, which was applied to the characterization of solid catalysts as early as 1971 (7). A retrospective analysis of the use of Mossbauer spectroscopy in catalysis showed that it has consistently accounted for 3-10% of the communications presented at the International Congresses on Catalysis (ICQ (7%t at the ICC in Paris in 2004). Such continuity over the years reflects the high value of this technique in catalyst characterization.
