The 248th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition will be held in San Francisco, California from August 10-14, 2014. The theme of this fall’s meeting is “Chemistry and Global Stewardship.” As olefin metathesis has made significant contributions to the responsible management of world resources, it is fitting that many notable presentations will be given.
Of special note, Materia’s very own Dr. Mark Trimmer will be presenting a talk entitled “Olefin metathesis: Pushing the frontiers” describing the company’s contributions to the understanding and commercialization of metathesis (#534).
The meeting also features talks from Nobel Laureates Professor Bob Grubbs and Professor Dick Schrock. Prof. Grubbs’ first talk (#462) describes the variety of molecules made synthetically accessible with the expanding family of ruthenium catalysts while his second presentation (#189) focuses on his work with Z-selective catalysts from a computational perspective. Prof. Schrock’s presentation (#512) will describe his work controlling polymer stereochemistry with tungsten and molybdenum ring-opening metathesis catalysts.
