WELCOME TO THE BIG EASY, HOME OF THE WORLD CHAMPION, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

On behalf of the entire executive board and the Louisiana local section, I welcome you to the 66 th SWRM and 62 nd SERMACS. 

Every 10 years, these two great regions get together in New Orleans. It is our great honor and pleasure to put this meeting together 

for you. I want to thank you for the fantastic response to our call for papers. 1161 abstracts were submitted for our meeting, the 

most ever. We are humbled by your response and we have done everything we can to make this meeting as great as possible. 

Our meeting motto is “Laissez la Bonne Chimie Roule”, a play on our city’s motto that means “Let the Good Chemistry Roll”, which 

is just what we have planned for you. We have over 90 symposia in 17 different divisions of the ACS featuring multiple winning 

presenters. There will be hundreds of poster including close to 200 posters in the undergraduate division. The undergraduate 

division has a very strong program (see inside cover and pages 9-10) that will span 3 days and culminate with over 40 oral 

presentations on Saturday. There are 2 plenary talks planned by Professor Omar Yaghi of UCLA (see page 18). 

We also have many special events planned for you, starting with the opening reception on Tuesday night from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in our 

exhibition hall. Our exposition (see pages 39-50) runs Tuesday during the exposition, Wednesday from 10 am to 4 pm and Thursday 

from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Over 40 vendors have signed up for the exposition. Coffee breaks (see page 11) will be held in the 

exhibition at 10:20 am and 3:20 pm on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, the graduate fair (see pages 51-60) will take over the 

exhibition fall from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Over 30 graduate schools have signed up so far for the graduate fair. 

All the posters sessions will take place in our exhibition hall. General poster sessions (see page 8) will occur on Wednesday and 

Thursday. On Friday, the undergraduate posters sessions will take place. On Wednesday night, a Sci-Mix will occur from 5:00 to 

7:00 pm (see page 12). Following the graduate fair on Friday, the will be a social sponsored by the YCC chapter of New Orleans 

and the Chemistry Clubs of Xavier University of Louisiana, Loyola University of New Orleans and the University of New Orleans. 

We proudly announce that Jennifer Cruze (SW) and Ray Teddar (SE) will receive the awards for Excellence in High School 

Teaching. Dr. Paritosh Das of Cameron University (SW) and Dr. Tim Hanks of Furman University (SE) will receive the E. Ann 

Nalley award for Volunteer Service. Dr. James Stevens of Chevron (SW) will receive the Industrial Innovation award. Dr. Wayne 

Goodman of Texas A&M will receive the Southwest Regional Science Award. Dr. Angela Peters of Clafin University will receive 

the Stan Israel award. Dr. Alvin Bopp of Southern University of New Orleans will receive the first Jack Stocker Award. The history 

division will put on a symposium honoring the memory and achievements of Jack Stocker Thursday morning. The awards luncheon 

will take place Thursday from 12:00 to 2:00 pm at Emeril’s New Orleans restaurant (see pages 18-27). 

We also want to extend our gratitude to all our sponsors (see pages 28-38) especially our Krewe de Mardi Gras sponsors, Office of 

Naval Research and John Wiley and Sons, Inc and our platinum sponsors, Agilent, the University of New Orleans College of 

Science, Department of Chemistry and Graduate School/Office of Research and the Division of Chemical Education. 

Finally, on a personal note, I want to thank the tireless efforts of the 2010 Executive Board and Organizing Committee members who 

have dedicated their time to our meeting. These VOLUNTEERS have given countless hours to this meeting. We have been working 

on this meeting going all the way back to 2003 when we started soliciting hotel bids. None of this would have been possible without 

their efforts. If you run into one of the board members, please take a moment to thank them for their great efforts to put on this 

meeting for you. 

Sincerely, 

Sean P. Hickey

Plenary Address, Professor Omar Yaghi of UCLA 

8:00 am – Wednesday, December 1, Versailles Room 

Omar M. Yaghi was born in 1965 in Amman, Jordan. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 to 

pursue his undergraduate education. He received his B.S. degree from the State University of New York at 

Albany and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois-Urbana (1990) with Professor Walter G. Klemperer. He 

was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University (1990-92) with Professor Richard H. Holm. He has 

been on the faculties of Arizona State University (1992-98) and University of Michigan (1999-2006). His 

current position is the Jean Stone Chair Professor in the Physical Sciences and Professor of Chemistry and 

Biochemistry at UCLA. His early accomplishments in the design and synthesis of new materials have been 

honored by the Solid State Chemistry Award of the American Chemical Society and Exxon Co. (1998) and the 

Sacconi Medal of the Italian Chemical Society (1999). His work on hydrogen storage was recognized by 

Popular Science Magazine which listed him among the 'Brilliant 10' scientists and engineers in USA (2006), 

and the US Department of Energy Hydrogen Program Award for outstanding contributions to hydrogen storage 

(2007). He was the sole recipient of the Materials Research Society Medal for pioneering work in the theory, 

design, synthesis and applications of metal-organic frameworks and the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize for 

the best paper published in Science (2007). He is the recipient of the American Chemical Society Chemistry of 

Materials Award (2009). 

His work encompasses the synthesis, structure and properties of inorganic compounds and the design and 

construction of new crystalline materials. He is widely known for inventing several extensive classes of new 

materials termed metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, and covalent organic 

frameworks. These materials have the highest surface areas and the lowest densities known to date, making 

them useful in clean energy technologies such as hydrogen storage, methane storage, and carbon dioxide 

capture. The building block approach he developed has led to an explosive growth in the creation of new 

materials of a diversity and multiplicity previously unknown in chemistry. He termed this emerging field 

'Reticular Chemistry' and defines it as 'stitching molecular building blocks into extended structures by strong 

bonds'. He published over 130 papers which have received over 200 citations per paper. He is listed among the 

top ten most highly cited chemists worldwide.
