Perspectives in Chemistry: 150 Years of the Periodic Table

该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会化学司通过特殊项目机制资助。首席研究员是美国化学会的Mary Kirchhoff。总体目标是在2019年11月20日举办一场研讨会，重点介绍对周期表的理解所带来的化学突破。联合国大会宣布2019年为国际元素周期表年。这是美国化学会的高潮活动。这次活动将吸引ACS成员，提高公众对化学的认识。本次活动将聚集备受尊敬的化学家，介绍当前公众和化学社区感兴趣的领域的首要主题，如可持续塑料、量子计算和电池。通过将这些主题与周期表的历史联系起来，并将它们与化学的未来研究领域联系起来，更广泛的社区（通过网络访问），当地高等教育界（通过邀请）和一般的华盛顿特区科学界可以为这个庆祝活动联系起来。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is funded by the Chemistry Division of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate through the Special Projects mechanism. The Principle Investigator is Mary Kirchhoff of the American Chemical Society. The overall goal is to host a colloquium on Nov. 20th, 2019, that highlights the chemistry breakthroughs enabled by the understanding of the periodic chart. The United Nations' General Assembly has decreed 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT). This is the American Chemical Society's culminating event. This event will engage ACS members and enhance public appreciation for chemistry. This event will gather highly respected chemists to present on overarching topics in areas of current public and chemistry community interest, such as sustainable plastics, quantum computing, and batteries. By tying these topics back to the history of the periodic chart and linking them to the future research areas of chemistry, the broader community (through web access), the local higher education community (by invitation), and the general D.C. scientific community can be linked for this celebratory event.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
