美国化学会年会是世界上规模最大、历史最悠久的化学界盛会之一,每年春秋两季各召开一次,迄今已有100余年的历史。它是全世界化学家共同的舞台,在化学学科发展的过程中充当了重要的交流平台——不仅是科研成果的展示,更带来科学思维的碰撞。近年来它对于化学学科的许多新生长点,例如绿色化学、能源化学、可持续性化学等,也起到推波助澜的作用。在2014年美国化学会秋季会议之际,《自然》的这组报道对化学中的重要分支——有机化学在近年来开始发生的深刻变 The annual meeting of the American Chemical Society is one of the largest and oldest chemical industry events in the world. Each spring and autumn is held once each year and has a history of more than 100 years. It is a common stage for chemists all over the world and plays an important communication platform in the development of chemistry. It not only shows the scientific achievements but also collides with scientific thinking. In recent years it has also fueled many new growth spots in chemistry such as green chemistry, energy chemistry, and sustainable chemistry. At the 2014 American Chemical Society Fall Meeting, this group of “Nature’s” reports on the profound changes that organic chemistry has taken place in recent years, an important branch of chemistry
