IUPAC created a Award for Young Chemists in 2000 to recognise and reward outstanding research scientists at the beginning of their careers. Since 2014, this has been generously sponsored by Solvay, and five IUPACSOLVAY International Awards for Young Chemists are given each year. The success of this initiative can be seen by since 2014 many of the awardees going on to highly successful careers [1]. Award winners are chosen from among dozens of applicants, based on detailed analysis of a 1000-word essay on the candidate’s Ph. D. work by a Jury, comprised of members of the IUPAC Bureau and a Senior Science Advisor from Solvay. The Jury has a wide range of expertise in chemistry, and makes efforts to ensure inclusivity with respect to gender and geographical distribution in their selection of the winners. It was chaired in 2018 and 2019 by Professor Natalia Tarasova, IUPAC Past President. The winners each received a cash prize of USD 1000 and travel expenses to the 47th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress, 7–12 July 2019, in Paris, France. They were also invited to present a poster at the IUPAC Congress describing their award-winning work and to submit a short critical review to be published in Pure and Applied Chemistry. The awards were presented during the Opening Ceremony of the Congress. There was a good global representation of candidates, with 45 applications from 15 countries in 2018, and 30 application from 14 countries in 2019. After consideration of the quality, originality and importance of the presentations, the Jury decided unanimously to award the 2018 prizes to the following five essays: – Eduardo Bolea-Fernandez, Ghent University, Belgium, “Method development for ultra-trace elemental and isotopic analysis using tandem ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS)”. – Dane W. deQuilettes, University of Washington, USA, “Probing Local Heterogeneity in the Optoelectronic Properties of Organic-Inorganic Perovskites Using Fluorescence Microscopy”. – Palas Roy, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India, “Probing the Fate of Excitons in Organic Semiconductors”. – Monika Stolar, University of Calgary, Canada, “Development of Phosphoryl-Bridged Viologens Toward Functional Materials”. – Chi Zhang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, “Cysteine Arylation”.

2018 年和 2019 年 IUPAC-SOLVAY 国际青年化学家奖获得者

IUPAC 于 2000 年设立了青年化学家奖，以表彰和奖励处于职业生涯初期的杰出研究科学家。自 2014 年以来，这得到了索尔维的慷慨赞助，每年颁发五次 IUPACSOLVAY 国际青年化学家奖。自 2014 年以来，该计划的成功可以从许多获奖者的职业生涯中取得巨大成功[1] 可见一斑。根据由 IUPAC 主席团成员和索尔维高级科学顾问组成的评审团对候选人博士论文的 1000 字论文的详细分析，从数十名申请人中选出获奖者。评审团在化学方面拥有广泛的专业知识，并努力确保在选择获奖者时考虑到性别和地域分布的包容性。它于 2018 年和 2019 年由 IUPAC 前任主席 Natalia Tarasova 教授担任主席。获奖者每人都获得了 1000 美元的现金奖励和参加 2019 年 7 月 7 日至 12 日在法国巴黎举行的第 47 届 IUPAC 世界化学大会的旅费。他们还应邀在 IUPAC 大会上展示了一张海报，描述了他们获奖的工作，并提交了一篇简短的评论，以发表在《纯粹与应用化学》上。这些奖项是在大会开幕式上颁发的。候选人的全球代表性很好，2018年有来自15个国家的45份申请，2019年有来自14个国家的30份申请。 在考虑了演讲的质量、原创性和重要性后，评审团一致决定将2018年的奖项颁发给以下五篇论文： – Eduardo Bolea-Fernandez，根特大学，比利时，“使用串联 ICP-质谱法 (ICP-MS/MS) 进行超痕量元素和同位素分析的方法开发”。– Dane W. deQuilettes，美国华盛顿大学，“使用荧光显微镜探测有机-无机钙钛矿光电特性的局部异质性”。– Palas Roy，印度孟买塔塔基础研究所，“探索有机半导体中激子的命运”。– Monika Stolar，加拿大卡尔加里大学，“向功能材料发展磷酰桥接紫罗碱”。– Chi Zhang，美国麻省理工学院，“半胱氨酸芳基化”。“使用荧光显微镜探测有机-无机钙钛矿光电特性的局部异质性”。– Palas Roy，印度孟买塔塔基础研究所，“探索有机半导体中激子的命运”。– Monika Stolar，加拿大卡尔加里大学，“向功能材料发展磷酰桥接紫罗碱”。– Chi Zhang，美国麻省理工学院，“半胱氨酸芳基化”。“使用荧光显微镜探测有机-无机钙钛矿光电特性的局部异质性”。– Palas Roy，印度孟买塔塔基础研究所，“探索有机半导体中激子的命运”。– Monika Stolar，加拿大卡尔加里大学，“向功能材料发展磷酰桥接紫罗碱”。– Chi Zhang，美国麻省理工学院，“半胱氨酸芳基化”。
