The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has appointed Cathleen Crudden as editor-in-chief (EIC) of ACS Catalysis. Crudden currently serves as an associate editor for the journal.
At Queen’s University, Crudden is the A.V. Douglas distinguished professor of chemistry and Canada Research Chair. She additionally holds a research professorship and runs a satellite lab at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules in Nagoya, Japan. Crudden’s work has included homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis with a recent focus on surface chemistry. She seeks to provide in-depth solutions to outstanding problems in molecular and materials chemistry, including tackling issues such as the creation of carbon-carbon bonds with stereochemistry using catalytic approaches and using insight from catalyst design in materials chemistry.
ACS Catalysis is dedicated to publishing original research on heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis and biocatalysis. The journal seeks to acquire content in the areas of new reactions and new approaches to synthesis involving known catalysts, discovery or modification of new catalysts, novel mechanistic and investigatory studies on catalysis, practical enhancements of known processes, and conceptual advances.
