Special Issues at ACS Catalysis his July 2011 issue is the first special issue of ACS Catalysis. In the future, ACS Catalysis will publish occasional special issues, usually targeting specific topical areas of catalysis science. Special issues will be infrequent and will not typically be associated with specific conferences or symposia. I am pleased that our first special issue will honor the memory, legacy and impact of Prof Victor S.-Y. Lin of Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory. Victor was a friend as well as a highly creative scientist working at the interface of homogeneous (molecular) and heterogeneous (supported) catalysis. With a synthetic, catalyst design perspective, Victor published an array of highly impactful papers on catalysis using molecularly functionalized mesoporous silica materials over the past decade. As ACS Catalysis seeks to play a prominent role in communicating and promoting interdisciplinary trends in catalysis, it is fitting that this first special issue honors a visionary scientist whose work often crossed traditional disciplinary boundaries.
