AstraZeneca Young Investigator Award to Chem Soc Rev Advisory Board member

13 Dec 2011

We are delighted to announce that Chem Soc Rev Advisory Editorial Board member, Professor Shuli You, has received the 2011 AstraZeneca Young Investigator Award for Asia.

Professor You’s research focuses on the development of stereoselective C-H functionalisation processes and catalytic asymmetric dearomatisation reactions as well as highly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indole and pyrrole systems.

Professor You will be presented with a $50,000 unrestricted research grant intended to help further growth and development of his research program at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, China.

Many congratulations from Chem Soc Rev!

Chem Soc Rev in a nutshell. Fact number 16

13 Dec 2011

The largest issue of Chem Soc Rev in 2011 was issue 5 with a whopping 51 review articles.

A broad range of science was published in this issue covering a multitude of chemistry disciplines. To name but a few…

Adrian-Mihail Stadler and Jack Harrowfield provide an overview of chemistry coming from Strasbourg since the 16th century in their Highlight Review article; Stefan Matile and colleagues discuss recent developments in the field of synthetic transport systems, namely ion channels and pores, whilst Alessandro Troisi evaluates classical and new theories of charge transport in high mobility molecular semiconductors. Intramolecular d¹⁰–d¹⁰ interactions in heterometallic clusters are reviewed by Sabrina Sculfort and Pierre Braunstein; and K. U. Ingold and co-workers consider kinetic solvent effects in radical reactions.

Browse the table of contents to read more about this research and the other review articles that issue 5 has to offer.

Chem Soc Rev publishes two different review types: Critical and Tutorial Reviews.

Critical Reviews provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the subject area and should mostly focus on developments from the previous 5-10 years.

Whereas, Tutorial Reviews are aimed towards new researchers in the field, as well as the expert, and are generally shorter in length with a maximum of 60 references.

For more information on these article types, read our author guidelines.

Chem Soc Rev is 40 years old this year.

The first article ever published in the journal was “Natural products from echinoderms” by Professor J. Stuart Grossert at Dalhousie University, Canada.

Professor Stuart Grossert’s research interests have diversified over the years and now focus on mass spectrometry. Read our recent blog post on biological mass spectrometry to find a collection of recently published review articles in this field.
