Chemistry of Materials Lectureship and Best Paper Award

The Chemistry of Materials Lectureship and Best Paper Award recognizes the authors of an article published in an issue of Chemistry of Materials in the two years preceding the due date for nominations.
This award is sponsored by Chemistry of Materials, alternating between the ACS Divisions of PMSE and Inorganic Chemistry. The award underlines the fact that research is a team endeavor, and thus the main goal is to emphasize the importance of, and celebrate the contributions of, co-authors.
