ACS Fall 2025
Global Virtual Symposium
听
Gold-Mediated Chemistry
Organic听Chemistry Division
The unique reactivity of gold complexes as tunable p-Lewis acids have driven diverse applications towards C鈥揅 multiple bond functionalizations, enyne and diyne cycloisomerizations, carbene/nitrene transfer reactions, and many others. The progress has not only advanced fundamental organometallic chemistry but also offered practical solutions for synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. This symposium aims to highlight recent breakthroughs in the field of gold catalysis, bringing together a global network of researchers working in diverse directions. By sharing insights and experiences, the event seeks to foster collaboration and drive further progress in the field.听

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is March 31, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
-
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
-
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
-
What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?
The Global Virtual Symposia does not have provision for recorded talks. Presenters can only present in real-time. However, for any rescheduling requests, please reach out to our symposium chairs and organizers beforehand.
-
Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?
Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Fall 2025. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
