Description:A Boulder Scientific Distinguished Lecture \n\nAbout the Talk:
 \n\nDesign and development of sustainable\, environmentally benign catalyt
 ic reactions for organic synthesis and for energy-related processes are ma
 jor goals of current catalysis. We have developed new efficient\, environm
 entally benign reactions catalyzed by pincer-type transition metal complex
 es\, including complexes of earth-abundant metals. Several of these reacti
 ons either produce hydrogen gas or consume it and proceed by a new mode of
  metal-ligand cooperation. Metal-complex catalyzed reactions\, in which mo
 st of the catalytic activity is ligand-based\, were also developed.  Vari
 ous synthetic and energy-relaed applications based on these catalytic reac
 tions\, such as several acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions\, 
 selective dehydrogenative oxidation of organic compounds using water as ox
 idant\, and new liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs)\, will be describ
 ed.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDavid Milstein is a Professor of Chemistry at
  the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel\, where he founded and was He
 ad of the Kimmel Center for Molecular Design.\nHe received his PhD in chem
 istry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1976 with Prof. Blum\, an
 d performed post-doctoral research at Colorado State University\, with Pro
 f. Stille\, leading to the well-known C-C bond-forming Stille Reaction. In
  1979 he joined DuPont Company’s Central Research and Development Depart
 ment\, where he became a Group Leader\, and in 1987 he moved to the Weizma
 nn Institute of Science. His research interests include the design and dev
 elopment of efficient\, environmentally benign and sustainable reactions f
 or organic synthesis and energy applications\, mainly catalyzed by pincer-
 type complexes. His awards include the ACS Award in Organometallic Chemist
 ry and the ACS Somorjai Award in Creative Research in Catalysis\; the Gold
  Medal of the Israel Chemical Society\; the Israel Prize (Israel’s highe
 st honor)\; the ENI Environmental Protection Prize\; and the IUPAC- Zhejia
 ng International Award for Advancements in Green Chemistry. He is a member
  of the national academies of Israel\, the USA\, Germany and the UK Royal 
 Society. 4:00 pm
