The 2001 Gordon Conference on Gaseous Ions: Structures, Energetics, and Reactions is the 6th in the series of biennial conference established to provide a forum for scientific exchange among individuals interested in the spectroscopy and structures of ions, the thermochemistry of ionic processes, and the mechanisms and dynamics of gaseous ion reactions. The program for the 2001 conference will draw from a selection of areas of intense current interest, and includes sessions on Analytical Mass Spectrometry, Clusters, Environment and Aerosols, Ion Spectroscopy, Ions in Nanodroplets, Noncovalent Ion Interactions, Organic Ions, and Organometallic Ion Chemistry. The conference will begin on Sunday evening with both an oral and a poster session. Poster sessions will continue on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. The Conference will climax on Thursday evening with a banquet, an after dinner speaker, and an after dinner dance. Departure is on Friday morning. Application forms for the Gordon Conference must be submitted to the GRC office, University of Rhode Island, P.O. Box 984, West Kingston, RI 02892-0984. Tel. 401 783-4011 (-7644 fax). Online applications are encouraged at www.grc.uri.edu . Applications are encouraged by January 14, 2001. Deadline for registration at reduced rate is 4 weeks prior to the conference, i.e. January 28, 2001. =============================================================== Program at a Glance Sunday Evening Ions in Nanodroplets: Evan Williams/ Gereon Niedner-Schatteberg/ Jack Beauchamp Monday Morning Organometallic Ion Chemistry: Karl Irikura/ Doreen Leopold/ Atsushi Nakajima/ Jim Weisshaar Monday Evening Environment and Aerosols: Al Viggiano/ Dave Feller/ Tom Baer Tuesday Morning Analytical Mass Spectrometry: Veronica Bierbaum/ Alan Marshall/ Julie Leary/ Michael Gross Tuesday Evening Clusters: Will Castleman/ Kent Ervin/ Lai-Sheng Wang Wednesday Morning Organic Ions: Tom Morton/ Frank Turecek/ Richard O'Hair/ Einar Uggerud Wednesday Evening Noncovalent Ion Interactions: Christoph Schalley/ Gilles Ohanessian/ Mary Rodgers Thursday Morning Ion Spectroscopy: Mike Duncan/ Benoit Simard/ Mattanjah de Vries/ Bernd.
