Workshop on Physical Organic Chemistry

该奖项授予了加州大学圣迭戈分校的Jay S. Siegel教授，有机和大分子化学项目继续支持自1981年以来举办的年度物理有机化学研讨会。每三年一次的研讨会将轮流由西格尔博士、麻省理工学院的芭芭拉·Imperiali博士主持。由伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的杰弗里·摩尔博士主持。研讨会的目的是将该领域的领导者和职业生涯早期的年轻教师聚集在一起，在非正式的环境中讨论他们在研究和教育方面的最新想法和成果，并提供大量互动和讨论的机会。会议有意保持小规模（约20人参加），并留出大量的非结构化时间，以最大限度地发挥互动作用。与会者由主席挑选，以代表一系列的研究兴趣、机构的规模、类型和地点，并包括妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。为了让尽可能多的人有机会参与，在任何10年的时间里，没有人被邀请超过一次或两次。参加研讨会的分支学科包括有机金属化学和均相催化、光化学和反应中间体化学、合成、生物有机化学和理论有机化学。

With this award to Prof. Jay S. Siegel of the University of California, San Diego, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program continues its support of annual Workshops in Physical Organic Chemistry, which have taken place since 1981. The workshops in this three-year cycle will be chaired in turn by Dr. Siegel, Dr. Barbara Imperiali of M.I.T. in Cambridge, Mass., and by Dr. Jeffrey Moore at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champagne. The purpose of the workshops is to bring together leaders in the field and young faculty early in their careers, to discuss their latest ideas and results in research and education in an informal setting, with lots of opportunities for interaction and discussion. The meetings are intentionally kept small (ca. 20 participants), and blocks of unstructured time made available to maximize interactions. Attendees are selected by the Chairs to represent a spectrum of research interests, and sizes, types and locations of institutions, and to include both women and underrepresented minorities. In order to give as many people as possible the opportunity to participate, no one is invited more than once or twice in any 10 year period.Subdisciplines represented at the workshop include organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, photochemistry and the chemistry of reactive intermediates, synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, and theoretical organic chemistry.
