The 2014 Organometallics Symposium he year 2014 “Organometallics Symposium” was held on Tuesday August 12 and Wednesday August 13, at the San Francisco ACS meeting. This biennial event was inaugurated at the Philadelphia ACS meeting that took place in August of 20121 and will return to Philadelphia for the ACS meeting scheduled for August of 2016. In all venues, there has been generous financial support from the organic and inorganic divisions of the ACS. We warmly thank the divisions for this assistance.

One objective of the Organometallics Symposium is to honor some of the younger authors who represent the future of the discipline and the journal. Accordingly, a panel selected an international group of eight outstanding chemists who had published their first papers as corresponding authors in Organometallics during the four years prior to the symposium (Table 1). These individuals are designated as “Organometallics Young Investigator Fellows”. Naturally, we wish we had mechanisms for recognizing even more early career investigators who have helped to support the journal with cutting-edge contributions. Another objective was to honor two established authors who are widely recognized leaders in organometallic chemistry, one more on the “organic side” and the other more on the “inorganic side”. These individuals are designated as “Organometallics Senior Investigator Fellows”. Many nominations were received in

response to a call, and the year 2014 recipients are Professors Richard R. Schrock (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and John F. Hartwig (University of California, Berkeley). They follow Professors Amir Hoveyda (Boston College) and Kyoko Nozoki (University of Tokyo) as the year 2012 honorees (Table 2). The lectures were very well attended and prompted vigorous discussion. Photographs of all the Fellows, and the current editorial team, are given in Figures 1−14. We look forward to welcoming as many of our readers as possible to the year 2016 symposium and introducing the next generation of Organometallics Fellows. We hope that this program will encourage the continued submission of top-quality articles from younger scientists who will play important roles in shaping the journal in the decades to come.
