Archived News (Autumn 2010) Dr
Aldridge has been awarded the 2010
Royal Society of Chemistry award for Main Group Chemistry, a prize awarded
by the RSC since 1970 to recognize outstanding research in any aspect of the
chemistry of the s and p block elements. The award will be presented at the
RSC’s Inorganic
Chemistry Awards Symposium to be held at Queen’s University Belfast in
February 2011. Post-doctoral
co-workers Drasko Vidovic and Juan Baena have accepted academic jobs at NTU
Singapore and the University of Huelva, respectively. Dr
Aldridge has been invited to give talks at upcoming meetings in the US: SW regional ACS meeting (New Orleans,
December 2010), Pacifichem 2010 meeting
(Honolulu, December 2010) IUPAC Congress, (Puerto Rico (August 2011) and
in Europe: RCS Coordination Chemistry
Discussion Group (CCDG) meeting (UEA, July 2011), RSEQ Biennial Meeting (Valencia,
July 2011). Recently
accepted papers include studies of C-H borylation by Christina Tang (Angew. Chem.) and a communication
by Andrey Protchenko (Chem. Commun.)
on boron and gallium nucleophiles which has been selected as a ‘hot article’
by the journal’s editors. This article also features as the inside
cover of Chem. Commun.
