NSF Workshop on Cucurbit[n]uril Molecular Containers

有机和大分子化学计划支持由马里兰大学学院公园分校的Lyle D. Isaacs教授和迈阿密大学的Angel E. Kaifer教授组织的关于葫芦容器的研讨会。这是及时的，它将把年轻的和资深的科学家以及从事葫芦[n]urils研究的国内外科学家聚集在一起。它被策略性地安排在国际杯芳烃会议之前，这两个会议都在马里兰大学举行，这样那些可能不会参加杯芳烃会议的研究葫芦[n]化学的科学家现在就会来参加会议，因为他们参加了葫芦[n]芳烃会议，并将展示他们的研究。这将使做杯芳烃化学的化学家们接触到葫芦[n]urils化学的世界。还预计，通过聚在一起讨论这类分子容器，将建立新的合作，特别是与国际伙伴的合作。对于研讨会的广泛影响，估计将有15-20名参与者（包括年轻人和成熟人士）来自美国和国外，使他们有机会在这个令人兴奋和不断发展的研究领域获得新的视角。pi显然在该领域具有适当的地位，可以有效地领导本次研讨会。

The Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program supports the Workshop on cucurbit[n]uril containers organized by Professors Lyle D. Isaacs of the University of Maryland- College Park and Angel E. Kaifer of the University of Miami.. It is timely and it will bring together an excellent mix of younger and senior scientists as well as both domestic and international scientists doing research on cucurbit[n]urils. It has been strategically planned to come just prior to the international calixarene meeting, both at the University of Maryland, so that scientists doing cucurbit[n]uril chemistry who probably would not have attended the calixarene meeting will now come to that meeting since they are attending the cucurbit[n]uril meeting and will present their research. This will then expose chemists doing calixarene chemistry to the world of cucurbit[n]urils chemistry. It is also anticipated that, by coming together to talk about this class of molecular containers, new collaborations, particularly ones with international partners, will be established. For the broader impacts of the workshop it is estimated that 15-20 participants (both young and established) will come from both the U.S. and abroad, giving them an opportunity to be invigorated by new perspectives in this exciting and growing area of research. The PIs evidently have the appropriate stature in the field to provide effective leadership of this workshop.
