Chemistry Lyceum Students Travel to Canada for Conference

From Colin Abernethy, Chemistry: On March 14, seven members of the Chemistry Lyceum traveled to Moncton, New Brunswick, to attend the 2009 Maritime Inorganic Discussion Weekend, a two-day gathering to discuss recent advances in Inorganic Chemistry, and opportunities for employment and graduate study in this field.

At this conference, our students presented some of the recent results of a research collaboration between Keene State College and the University of Texas at Austin as a poster entitled “Attempted Synthesis of Bis(imino)acenaphthene Complexes of Group 5 Metal Halides” and met fellow chemistry students and faculty from seven universities in Atlantic Canada.
