65th Annual Herty Award Celebration:

The Charles Herty medal is awarded annually by members of the ACS Georgia Section. The purpose of this award is to give public recognition to the work and serice of outstanding chemists who have significantly contributed to their chosen fields. All chemists in academic, government or industrial laboratories who have spent a considerable amount of their career in the Southeast US are eligible.
This year's recipient is Dr Richard D Adams, Arthur S Williams Professor of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina.

Dr Adams has been an exceptionally productive and original contributor to the chemistry of polynuclear complexes for more than 20 years. His studies have ranged from elegant cluster synthesis to systematic investigations of multicenter transformations of small molecules at polynuclear metal sites. Recently he has pioneered the characterization of novel forms of
homogeneous catalysis based on metal cluster complexes.

Dr Adams received his BS degree in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University and his PhD degree in Inorganic Chemistry from MIT. He began his chemistry career at the State University of New York, Buffalo, and then moved to Yale University. He went to the University of South Carolina in 1984. 

Dr Adams has been the author of more than 370 research publications and is the co-editor and co-author of two books on cluster chemistry. He has served, and currently serves, on the editorial boards of several preeminent journals.

Dr Adams was recently awarded the ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry.

Also at this meeting we will Recognize our Fifty Year ACS Members and present Georgia Section Service Awards.
