Small Molecule SIG Report 2008

The 2008 Small Molecule SIG officers consist of Kraig Wheeler (Chair), Jeanettte Krause (Chair Elect), and Allen Oliver (Secretary).

Preparations for the ACA Knoxville meeting began at the Small Molecule business meeting held at the 2007 Salt Lake City meeting.  It was there that the SM SIG decided to sponsor four sessions.  The four sessions consist of one individually sponsored session and three co-sponsored sessions with the Materials, Powder, Service Cr SIGs.  These sessions are:

10.01 Cool Structures

Organizer: Allen Oliver.  Sponsoring SIGg(s): Small Molecule.
1 Incommensurate & Modulated Structures

Organizer: Lee Daniels.  Sponsoring SIG(s): Materials, Small Molecule.

13.02  Solid State Transformations and Reactions

Organizers: Marilyn Olmstead and Graciela Diaz de Delgado.  Sponsoring SIG(s): Materials, Powder, Service, Small Molecule.
10 Supramolecular Chemistry: Organic Crystals From Assembly to Function I, II, and III

Organizer:  Jennifer Swift.  Sponsoring SIG(s): Materials, Small Molecule.

The Small Molecule SIG was pleased to present Claire Yannette from Georgetown University with the 2008 Student Etter Award for her crystal growth studies of monosodium urate. 

The business meeting of the Small Molecule SIG was held on Monday, June 1 2008 at the Knoxville ACA conference.  Upon approval of the previous year’s minutes, action was taken to establish an ad hoc committee to oversee the selection of nominees for the 2009 treasurer and chair-elect positions.  The remainder of meeting focused on preparations for ACA09 with proposed sessions that included: 

Cool Structures.  Organizer/Chair:  Peter Muller.  Sponsoring SIGg(s): Small Molecule. One half day session.
