ACCEPTANCE ADDRESS "Giant-Size Homometallic and Het­

erometallic Carbonyl Clusters: The Joys of Synthetic/Stereochemical Explo­rations"

Our recent research has focused on the preparation, isolation , crystalliza­tion, structure/bonding analysis , and physical/chemical characterization of high-nuclearity metal carbonyl clusters; specifically, those with at least 10 core atoms of platinum, palladium or nickel that form direct metal-metal bonds. Because most of these metal clusters possess well-defined stoichiometries and precise geometries, detailed inves­tigations of their physical behaviors should provide insight into the onset of metallic-l ike character with increasing metal-core size (especially for clusters with interior atoms within their metal cores). It will be important to correlate their physical properties (e.g., variable temperature magnetic moments and specific heats) with those of naked and ligand-stabilized nanoparticles with non-uniform size distributions. These clusters are possible precursors of new materials with useful catalytic, electron­ic, magnetic, optical and/or photochemi­cal/electrochemical properties. This presentation will highlight some remark­able new clusters in cluding : 1 )two isostructural 38-atom trimetallic Au-Pd­Ni and bimetallic Au-Ni carbonyl clus­ters of pseudo-D3d symmetry with sub­stitutional Pd/Ni crystal disorder occurr­ing at only six equivalent metal sites (coloring problem) ; 2) two crystallo­graph ically superimposed Au-Ni car­bonyl clusters of pseudo-D4d symmetry contain ing a 26-atom gold cage (with either one or two interior Au prisoners) surrounded by 40 Ni atoms that are lig­ated by 56 COs; and 3) a three-shell palladium carbonyl phosphine cluster of pseudo-icosahedral symmetry contain­ing 55 interior Pd atoms in the first two shells encapsulated by a 60-vertex 3rd shell polyhedron (a geometrical metallo

brouhnan

isomer of C60 buckyball) with 30 addi­tional capping Pd atoms.

'CHEM SHORTS'' . This column Is presented by the Ele­

mentary Education Committee. They hope that it wil l reach young children and help increase science literacy. Please cut it out and pass it on to your children,grandchildren , or elementary teachers. It is hoped that teachers will try to incorporate some of these pro­jects in th is column into their lesson plans.

"Epsom Salt Towers"

Kids , can you say "super-satura­tion"? This is a big word but by using the principle behind i , you can make some cool formations. Follow me ...

You' ll need o measure 3 cup of Epsom salts into 1 cup of ho tap wa er (have an adult do this) and stir. Divide the solution into two small clear glasses or jars. Put a large paper clip onto each end of a 12-inch piece of cotton string. Soak the string for 5 minutes in one of the solutions. Spread aluminum foil on a work surface, and hang the wet string between the two containers. The paper clips will weight the ends down in each glass or jar. The glasses will be about 4-6 inches apart. Let the string hang with a litt le slack between the two glasses. After about 30 minutes, you should see a tower growing down from the string (a "stalactite"), and a tower growing up from the table under the string (a "stalagmite"). Let it go overnight to see how large your towers can grow.

What's happening here? The solution you made was supersaturated - which means that there is more magnesium sulfate (which is what epsom salts is) dissolved in the solution than in possi­ble at regular temperatures. How can that be? Remember that you used hot water, which lets more MgSO. (which is another way of "saying" magnesium sulfate ... ) dissolve. As the solution drips from the string, the water evaporates. This leaves the MgSO. behind to solidi­fy into your towers. In other words, we see the results of an evaporation pro­cess as the MgSO. crystallizes.

Think about a place where you might have seen such formations but on a much grander scale. Were you ever in a cave that had stalactites and stalag­mites? These towers are usually made of calcium carbonate (limestone) rather than magnesium sulfate, but they form in much the same way - by evaporation of water from solutions containing a lot of ca lcium and carbonate ions. We hope you learned a lot of chemistry today, from the physical processes of

supersaturation, evaporation, and crys­tallization, to some of the geochemical processes that occur in caves. Try out this experiment and then go visit a cave this summer - happy spelunking! (another big funny word ... we dare you to look it up).

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS WORKSHOPS

Frustrated by the lack of scientific input in public policy matters? Interest­ed in issues like federal research fund­ing, state science education standards, or state environmental issues? Then come to a government affairs training workshop at an ACS regional meeting! The ACS Office of Legislative & Gov­ernment Affairs (OLGA) will be holding government affairs workshops at the spring regional meetings . The work­shops will provide individual and local section project ideas, tips on working with elected officials, and suggestions for building state-wide coalitions of ACS local sections to work on government relations issues relevant to them all . The half-day workshops will include panel discussions with state legislators or congressional staff.

The workshops will be held at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting (Madi­son, N J, Wednesday, May 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) , Northwest Regional Meeting (Portland, OR, Mon­day, June 21 , 1 :30 p.m. 5:00 p.m.) , Central Regional Meeting (Columbus, OH, Wednesday, June 23, 8:30 a.m. -12:00 p.m.), and Northeast Regional Meeting (Potsdam, NY, Friday, June 25, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.). To prereg­ister, send your telephone number and home (voting) address to govtrela­tions@ acs .orq, or telephone Debbie Fillinich at (800) 227-5558 ext. 4476. Preregistering will enable OLGA staff to prepare individualized materials for workshop participants.

INDUSTRIAL SEMINAR Chemir/Polytech Laboratories is

ACS NATIONAL MEETING

The ACS Council Meeting opened with Memorial Resolutions for deceased Councilors, including Hertsell Conway from Chicago. Later, a eulogy for Glenn Seaberg was read.

Of the four nominees for ACS Presi­dent F. Peter Boer, James Bristol, Attila Pavlath, and Alan Shriesheim the Council chose the latter two to be can­didates for the fall election . The Council also voted to:

1) extend the responsibilities of the Divisional Activities Committee on formation and dissolution of Divisions

2) exercise the dues escalator annual dues for 2000 will increase from $105 to $108

3) remove the dues reinstatement penalty for those rejoining the ACS

The Council received an explanation why the ACS Board raised the National Meeting Registration even though the Council voted against it. More detailed financial information was available and more will be made available for Council consideration in the future.

Other news about the meeting includes registered attendance of 10,517 and NECH news that more positions were advertised than candidates seeking positions. On Monday, the Symposium Commemorating the 1 OOth Anniversary of the Birth of Percy Julian was attended by a few hundred people. Even more attended the luncheon, which featured as speaker David Satcher, Surgeon General of the United States.
