Winner of Cram Lehn Pedersen Prize 2011 announced
Professor Amar Flood, from Indiana University, USA, has won the inaugural Cram Lehn Pedersen prize. The prize, sponsored by Royal Society of Chemistry journal Chemical Communications and named in honour of the winners of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, recognises significant, original and independent work in supramolecular chemistry by emerging investigators.
The prize is awarded to Professor Flood for his pioneering work in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry and, in particular, for his development of receptors that employ pure CH hydrogen bonding to bind anionic guest species.
Professor Flood will receive £2,000 and will present his award lecture at the 6th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (6-ISMSC) in Brighton in July.
