Bilateral NSF/SERC Workshop on Organometallics in Organic Synthesis, August 2-7, 1992, Loch Lomond, Scotland

化学部特别项目办公室的这一奖项将使12名年轻的美国化学家能够参加1992年8月2-7日在苏格兰洛蒙德湖举行的NSF-科学与工程研究理事会(SERC)关于有机合成中的有机金属学的双边研讨会。这次研讨会是在NSF化学咨询委员会的建议下召开的，聚集了大约25名年轻的美国和英国科学家，他们可能成为该领域的领导者。以可预测的方式形成碳-碳键对有机合成是极其重要的。在这种背景下，通过有机金属络合物的中间体进行的反应变得越来越重要。有机金属化学通过允许金属作为有机反应的模板，在有机化学和无机化学的传统学科之间架起了桥梁。NSF-SERC关于有机合成中有机金属学的双边研讨会的主要目的是让年轻科学家接触到更广泛的国际学术界，并为长期的国际合作奠定基础。

This award from the Office of Special Projects of the Division of Chemistry will enable the participation of twelve young U.S. chemists in the Bilateral NSF-Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) Workshop on Organometallics in Organic Synthesis being held at Loch Lomond, Scotland, on August 2-7, 1992. This workshop, convened at recommendation of the NSF Chemistry Advisory Committee, brings together some twenty-five young American and British scientists who are likely to become leaders in the field. %%% The formation of carbon-carbon bonds in a predictable manner is of utmost importance to organic synthesis. In this context, reactions which proceed through the intermediacy of organometallic complexes have become increasingly important. Organometallic chemistry bridges the traditional disciplines of organic and inorganic chemistry by allowing metals to act as templates for organic reactions. The primary aim of this Bilateral NSF-SERC Workshop on Organometallics in Organic Synthesis is to expose young scientists to the wider community of international scholarship and to build the foundation for long term international collaborations.
