Fall 2025 ACS Meeting

2025 Pacifichem

Presidential Symposium:
Nuclear Today and Tomorrow

Description of Symposium: The nuclear energy landscape throughout the world is changing rapidly as demands for clean and reliable power rises. As a part of the presidential events at the 2025 Fall ACS National Meeting in Washington D.C. a symposium providing attendees with a broad perspective on the current state of the nuclear field and its growth in the next 10-15 years. Symposium topics will include the fields of radiochemistry, radiopharmaceuticals/isotope production, nuclear workforce & education, national security, and nuclear energy.

 

This symposium is a one full day symposium on Aug. 18th, 2025 including 18  invited lectures. Dr. Zachariah Heiden from Washington State University is one of the Symposium Organizers and is heading the Sponsorship Drive for this event.

Inorganic Division:
Design and Applications of Redox Active Ligands

Description of Symposium: Redox active ligands (RAL) are a class of multifunctional ligands in which the ligand participates in oxidation-reduction reactions. This symposium will focus on recent advances in the design of RALs, characterization of their metal complexes, computational studies of RALs, and their applications. The symposium will include participants with a common interest in redox active ligands but with a diversity of applications and design strategies. 

 

This symposium is a two full day symposium on Dec. 17th and 18th, 2025 including 32 seminars with over 16 invited lectures. All will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, HI. Dr. Kristopher Waynant from the University of Idaho is one of the Symposium Organizers and is heading the Sponsorship Drive for this event. Other organizers in Dr. Craig Grapperhaus from University of Louisville, KY, USA;  Dr. Mu-Hyn Baik from KAIST; and Dr. Ho-Chol Chang from Chuo University.

The Organizers are looking for Sponsorships that help offset some of the travel costs for our early career scientists as well as towards specific symposium functions (receptions, lunches, breakfasts).

 

If you support – your name, logo, contact information and any other promotional items that you wish to give attendees will be proudly displayed / handed out. Your sponsorship will also be acknowledged at the beginning and ending of each session and after breaks.
