Workshop on Reactive Intermediates

有机和高分子化学项目的资助 将支持一系列三个年度的“反应式研讨会 中间体的“这些讲习班有双重目的：（1） 为非正式讨论提供有效论坛， 有机化学领域当前研究的科学家 动态，以及（2）协助计划工作人员确定 需要结合的有机动力学研究领域 加入到项目的长期规划中 每个研讨会将汇集大约18名活跃的 来自美国各地的科学家们讨论 有机化学反应机理的当前研究， 重点是对正在进行的研究进行批判性评价。 非正式讨论的形式旨在激发挑战 和批评，以促进合作的发展 研究解决常见问题的方法，并防止 毫无成效的重复努力。 参与者被抽中 广泛来自社会的物理，有机， 有机金属化学家们致力于研究 中间体，并特别努力将 年轻的研究人员，妇女和少数民族科学家进入 在有机动力学领域的研究活动的主流。 选择讨论的主题是为了补充，而不是 与其他已建立的和更正式的会议竞争。

This grant in the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program will support a series of three annual "Workshops on Reactive Intermediates." These workshops have the dual purposes of (1) providing an effective forum for informal discussion by active scientists of current research in topical areas of organic dynamics, and (2) assisting the Program staff in identifying areas of research in organic dynamics which require incorporation into the Program's long-range planning. Each workshop will bring together approximately 18 active scientists from around the United States for discussions of current research in mechanisms of organic chemical reactions, with an emphasis on critical evaluation of research in progress. The informal discussion format is intended to stimulate challenge and criticism, to facilitate the development of collaborative research approaches to common problems, and to prevent unproductive duplicative efforts. The participants are drawn widely from the community of physical, organic, and organometallic chemists working on the chemistry of reactive intermediates, and a particular effort is made to incorporate young investigators, women and minority scientists into the mainstream of research activity in the areas of organic dynamics. The topics chosen for discussion are selected to complement, not compete with, other established and more formal conferences.
