2007 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE on Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms FINAL PROGRESS REPORT DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY GRANT NO. DE-FG02-07ER15849 The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms was held at Four Points Sheraton, Ventura, CA from 2/18/2007 thru 2/23/2007. The Conference was well-attended with 100 participants (attendees list attached). The attendees represented the spectrum of endeavor in this field coming from academia, industry, and government laboratories, both U.S. and foreign scientists, senior researchers, young investigators, and students.

In designing the formal speakers program, emphasis was placed on current unpublished research and discussion of the future target areas in this field. There was a conscious effort to stimulate lively discussion about the key issues in the field today. Time for formal presentations was limited in the interest of group discussions. In order that more scientists could communicate their most recent results, poster presentation time was scheduled. Attached is a copy of the formal schedule and speaker program and the poster program. In addition to these formal interactions, "free time" was scheduled to allow informal discussions. Such discussions are fostering new collaborations and joint efforts in the field.

I want to personally thank you for your support of this Conference. As you know, in the interest of promoting the presentation of unpublished and frontier-breaking research, Gordon Research Conferences does not permit publication of meeting proceedings. If you wish any further details, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Sincerely, Andreja Bakac Iowa State University Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms

This conference focuses on kinetic, mechanistic, and thermodynamic studies of reactions that play a role in fields as diverse as catalysis, energy, bioinorganic chemistry, green chemistry, organometallics, and activation of small molecules (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, alkanes). Participants from universities, industry, and national laboratories present results and engage in discussions of pathways, intermediates, and outcome of various reactions of inorganic, organic, coordination, organometallic, and biological species. This knowledge is essential for rational development and design of novel reactions, compounds, and catalysts.

The program has nine open slots for short poster talks. Everybody is welcome to apply for one of these by simply dropping a message to the Chair. The speakers will be selected by a committee shortly before the beginning of the conference. It is anticipated that the Chair will be able to provide financial aid toward travel expenses of those selected to speak.
