Description
The Frederic Stanley Kipping Award in Silicon Chemistry is administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and sponsored by Dow. It recognizes distinguished contributions to silicon chemistry and seeks to stimulate others’ creativity through the example of those achievements. The award honors accomplished research rather than supporting a specified new project.
Recognition centers on significant publications in silicon chemistry, silicon-based materials science, and related organometallic chemistry, particularly involving Group IV elements. Part of the ACS National Awards program, the award is presented biennially in even-numbered years. It includes a cash prize, a certificate, and reimbursement for travel to the award presentation meeting and the U.S.-based Silicon Symposium, where the recipient delivers an award address.
