RSC Awards 2012

RSC Frankland Award Professor Philip Mountford has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's Frankland Award for 2012. This award is given biennially for outstanding contributions to pure and applied research in organometallic chemistry or coordination chemistry. The citation for the award (which comprises both a medal and cash prize) states: "awarded for his seminal work on metal-ligand multiple bonding of the early transition elements and applications to the design of new polymerisation catalysts and to novel chemistry of main group and lanthanide compounds".

RSC Bioorganic Award The Awards Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry's (RSC) Organic Division has awarded the 2012 RSC Bioorganic Award to Professor Ben Davis for "his work on carbohydrates and their protein partners revealing fundamental mechanisms behind their structures and bond-forming processes and exploiting this understanding in synthesis and technology."
RSC Green Chemistry Award Professor Edman Tsang has been awarded the 2012 RSC Green Chemistry Award for his development of new nanoparticulate catalysts for greener processes in chemical catalysis. Edman Tsang has a world-leading expertise in the design and architecture of nanocatalysts which has led to understanding of catalytic surface and identifying new directions to make potentially more active and cost effective catalysts in energy and environment sectors. In particular, his research offers new bridges between traditional heterogeneous catalysts and homogeneous catalysts but the solid nanocatalysts they develop, are tested and studied under real applicable conditions.
RSC Interdisciplinary Prize Professor Hagan Bayley has been awarded the 2012 RSC Interdisciplinary Prize for work at the interface between chemistry and other disciplines. On receiving the prize Hagan commented that "Allen Hill from our department was the very first winner of the Interdisciplinary Prize in 1986, and I feel honoured to be in such company."
RSC Tilden Prize Harry Anderson has been awarded the 2012 RSC Tilden Prize. The citation for the award states: "awarded for creating supramolecular materials and molecular wires with unprecedented physical and biological properties, including conjugated porphyrin oligomers, encapsulated pi-systems, nanorings and two-photon absorbing dyes".
