DESCRIPTION:Chemistry professor Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰 is just the third 9I制作厂免费ia
 n ever to win the prestigious Steacie Prize for Natural Sciences. Join us 
 in congratulating Prof. Fri拧膷i膰 at this official prize presentation ceremo
 ny\, followed by a public lecture delivered by the renowned green chemistr
 y pioneer.\n\nAbstract:聽\n\nChemistry and chemical manufacturing are often
  perceived through the lenses of pollution and environmental impact\, lead
 ing to a tainted view of the many benefits that chemical sciences have pro
 vided to the modern society. The need to resolve this conundrum has inspir
 ed the development of Green Chemistry\, a discipline dedicated to the deve
 lopment of new\, cleaner and safer approaches to chemical synthesis.[1]\n
 \n\n	Many of the goals of Green Chemistry can be achieved by re-considering
  and simplification of chemical reaction designs and strategies that are o
 ften considered ubiquitous. In particular\, the recent emergence of mechan
 ochemical techniques\, i.e. chemical transformations induced and sustained
  by mechanical action in the solid state\, has provided a path to greatly 
 reduce or even completely eliminate the use of solvents.[2] Whereas solven
 ts have been used by chemists for centuries\, continuing a practice employ
 ed by alchemists\, they are also the principal component of over 40 millio
 n tons of toxic chemical waste produced annually throughout the world. In 
 contrast\, whereas solid-state and solvent-free chemical transformations h
 ave been known for millenia\, they have remained largely ignored by modern
  chemists.[3]\n\n\n	The recent re-discovery of the solid state as a reactio
 n environment\, and introduction of low-solvent and low-energy reaction te
 chniques\, such as mechanochemistry or accelerated aging\,[2\,4] provides 
 for the first time an opportunity to create viable\, generally-applicable 
 alternatives to solvent-based chemistry that can not only reduce the envir
 onmental impact of chemical reactions\, but also provide a door to previou
 sly not known chemical transformations\, and the synthesis of previously d
 ifficult or maybe even impossible to reach materials and molecules.\n\n[1]
