Izatt-Christensen Awards

Significant scientific breakthroughs involving macrocyclic compounds have occurred during the past three decades. The ISMC meetings have had a positive influence on this activity. In the material that follows, three examples of this influence are presented, i.e., the Izatt-Christensen Award IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. (IBC) and the awarding of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to three individuals with close ties to the Symposium.
