Description
The ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry is presented annually in cooperation with the American Chemical Society and sponsored by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. It recognizes and encourages fundamental, prominent research in inorganic chemistry, including discoveries that deepen understanding of chemical structures, properties, reactions, and mechanisms, as well as work connecting fundamental chemistry with practical applications.
Recognized work spans synthetic complexes, solid-state materials, catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry, and nanomaterials. The award celebrates contributions across the field rather than a single research topic.
