                      CALL FOR PAPERS

   Symposium on Industrial Applications of Quantum Chemistry

              27th ACS Central Regional Meeting
                        Akron, Ohio
                   May 31 - June 2, 1995

Technical papers and poster presentations are invited
on industrial or commercial applications of quantum mechanics
to all areas of chemistry, including analytical, physical, inorganic,
organic, solid state, polymer, physical, and biochemistry. 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

******************************************************************************

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.
