The Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences and its predecessors have sponsored research in heavy element chemistry and separations sciences for over fifty years. Although these are distinct disciplines, they have much in common for many reasons, in particular because (1) separations research is needed to produce pure heavy-element samples and (2) heavy element chemistry provides the basis for many separations processes. Therefore, this year it was decided to hold these meetings jointly. There is wide agreement that a gathering of researchers with common interests and sponsorship provides a fruitful environment to present and to exchange information about researchers' activities, to build collaborations among research groups with mutually reinforcing strengths, to identify needs of the research community, and to focus on areas for future research directions. The primary means of communicating research achievements and perspectives at this meeting is via posters and the discussions that illuminate the poster sessions. Groups of brief oral presentations serve to highlight the corresponding posters that follow each oral session. We have organized the agenda so that papers in related disciplines - such as spectroscopy, theory, and coordination chemistry - are loosely clustered together. We emphasize the informal nature of this meeting - it is not a review of researchers' achievements or future directions. We are pleased to have the privilege of organizing this joint meeting and of serving as the managers of our respective research programs. In carrying out these tasks, we learn from the achievements, and share the excitement, of the research of the many sponsored scientists and students whose names appear on the papers in the following pages. We also hope that this meeting will enhance your research efforts and will nurture future collaborations and initiatives. We thank all of the researchers whose dedication and innovation have advanced our research and made this meeting possible and, we hope, productive. We hope that all of you will build on your successes and that we will assemble in a very few years for our next joint meeting. We thank Karen Talamini of the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division, and Sophia Kitts and Rachel Smith of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for assisting in the technical and logistical aspects of this meeting.
