Franco-Chinese chemical bonds

摘要

This thematic issue of the Comptes rendus Chimie is dedicated to the intensification of the relationships between Chinese and French chemists. It contains principally papers based on communications presented at the First Chemical Workshop South China—Lyon, organised in Lyon, France, from 8 to 13 October 2006. Since a few years, the Chinese and French governments support and encourage exchanges of researchers and students, as well as collaborative projects.
