The symposium will be held on Thursday, June 1 and the morning of Friday, June 2. Invited speakers include: Ernest R. Davidson, Indiana University David A. Dixon, DuPont Michel Dupuis, IBM Corporation John McKelvey, Eastman Kodak Nelson G. Rondon, The Dow Chemical Company Rick Ross, PPG Industries The meeting, which is hosted by the ACS Akron Section, will be held in the new convention facility, the J.S. Knight Center, located near the University of Akron. Send abstracts and three copies (original on ACS Abstract Form) by January 9, 1995, to: Anne M. Chaka Research Division The Lubrizol Corporation 29400 Lakeland Boulevard Wickliffe, Ohio 44092-2298 216-943-1200 x2027 chaka "-at-" lubrizol.com ****************************************************************************** P.S. One of the main goals of the symposium is to facilitate communication and exchange between industry and academia so that the latest theoretical techniques can be used to solve problems of commercial importance. For those in industry with little or no experience in quantum chemistry, an ACS short course on Quantum Mechanics will be held before the meeting on May 30th in Akron. The course is intended to serve as an introduction to basic molecular orbital theory and how it can be applied to chemical problems. Topics to be covered will include semiempirical and ab initio methods (Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory), basis sets, reaction mechanisms, transition state theory, spectroscopy, and thermodynamic properties. For more information about the short course, contact Anne Chaka. ******************************************************************************
