HIGHLIGHTS: The symposium on selective alkane oxidation high lights the state of the art in research and technology for conversion of alkanes to basic chemical building blocks. Alkanes are now mainly used as low-value fuels but are economically and environmentally sound al ternatives to existing precursors to basic chemicals. Conversion of lowvalue alkanes to high-value chemicals requires new catalytic chem istry—chemistry that is the focus of this symposium. A second symposium consists of more than 20 oral presentations on catalytic technology for improving air quality. These talks will discuss commer cial and near-commercial technology relevant to the reduction and re mediation of air pollutants.

A

HIGHLIGHTS: A symposium on how to get started in research at a predominantly undergraduate institution will offer insights on how to maximize efforts during each step of the process, from formulating a re search plan to promoting both the results of and benefits to the stu dents involved. The Council on Undergraduate Research will cosponsor this symposium. A series of programs will provide advice on being successful professionally and financially. Issues involved with transi tioning from two-year to four-year colleges, from undergraduate to graduate institutions, into leadership positions, and up through the glass ceiling will be covered in programs cosponsored with the Committee on Minority Affairs, the Society Committee on Education,

HIGHLIGHTS: T h e Anselme Payen Award symposium honoring Liisa Viikari showcases the role of enzymes in the chemistry of ligno cellulosics. It explores how enzymes selectively remove xylan from wood, oxidize lignin, derivatize lignocellulosics, and assist pulp bleach ing. A symposium on xylans, mannans, and other hemicelluloses ex plores these biopolymers in depth, including their biosynthesis, isola tion, characterization, assembly into higher order structures, and selective modification to make renewable resource-based materials. Successful utilization of complex natural resources relies upon structur al understanding. New spectroscopic and imaging methods focus on developing applications of spectroscopic tools such as FT-IR, F T Raman, and multidimensional and solid-state N M R methods for use with lignocellulosics. Some permit fascinating rapid analysis methods, while others, such as AFM, permit exploration of the chemistry of cellulosic materials on the atomic level and in the native state. Fiber de velopment and modification explores the chemistry of modification and utilization of lignocellulosic fibers.
