Schrock (MIT, Cambridge), who received the Nobel Prize in 2005 "for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis" and 1981 awardee Henry Taube (Stanford University), who received the Nobel Prize in 1983 "for his work on the mechanisms of electron transfer reactions, especially in metal complexes." This award is an early recognition for the best chemists in the world, testified by the fact that several past laureates went on to receive a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today, MilliporeSigma (a business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) is an active silver sponsor due to Sigma Aldrich’s longstanding initiative and commitment to advancement in chemistry and its continuous support of the scientific community. The recipients are honored at the national award banquet in conjunction with the ACS National Meeting.Įstablished in 1960, MilliporeSigma (formerly known as Aldrich Chemical Company) assumed sponsorship for the award in 1998. It is awarded based on outstanding research in the preparation, properties, reactions, or structure of inorganic substances. We recognize and encourage fundamental and prominent research in the field of inorganic chemistry with the annually presented ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry.
