Chemists, chemical engineers, and chemical technologists are society’s problem solvers. From advances in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, to energy, the environment, food and water, they find solutions for our future.
The Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC) is one of three constituent societies of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC), which is committed to advancing the chemical sciences and engineering. CIC serves its approximately 6,000 members and achieves its mission by
• organizing Canada’s two premier annual conferences for the chemical sciences and engineering;• publishing ACCN, Canadian Chemical News and The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering;• conferring awards;• overseeing a network of Local Sections, Student Chapters, and Subject Divisions;• lobbying the government on issues of research funding and regulations;• accrediting university programs and certifying chemical technologists; and• reaching out to the public to advance their understanding and appreciation of the chemical sciences and engineering. As well as enjoying several benefits, such as discounted rates for our conferences and a complimentary subscription to

Message from the CSC President
On behalf of the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), I welcome you to the 99th Canadian Chemistry
Conference and Exhibition (CSC 2016) in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
This year’s conference theme, Chemistry: The Next Wave, highlights a prominent feature of the spec-
tacular location and symbolizes the progress of research in chemistry. The conference Plenary Speakers are
Eugenia Kumacheva (University of Toronto), Stephen Withers (University of British Columbia), who will receive
the CIC Medal, and Kim Baines (University of Western Ontario), who will receive the Montréal Medal.
As usual, the conference will offer a number of special events and meetings, a state-of-the-art exhibition and
a broad array of world class symposia.
I encourage you to join us at the 32nd CSC Annual General Meeting, and to let us know your ideas for the CSC.
In addition, please take an opportunity to interact with any of the members of the CSC Board of Directors. Back
at home, I encourage you to participate in Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) Local Section meetings to enhance
your involvement with the CIC and the CSC.
Finally, on behalf of the CSC, I wish to thank Russell Boyd, Conference Chair and Norman Schepp, Technical

Welcome Messages
Russell Boyd, FCIC
Message from the Conference Chair
The chemists of Atlantic Canada are pleased to once again have the pleasure of hosting their colleagues
from across Canada and many other countries at the 99th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition,
in Halifax.
The conference theme, Chemistry: The Next Wave, reflects the fact that the Atlantic Ocean affects the climate,
culture, economics and daily lives of the residents of Atlantic Canada. The theme is also symbolic of the idea
that advances in chemistry do not come in a steady stream of bits of information, but rather more like a series
of irregular waves hitting the shore. Just as storm surges may rearrange a beach that has remained largely
unchanged for years, new discoveries in chemistry can shake the foundations of the discipline. I am confident
that Norman Schepp and his colleagues on the Technical Program Committee have created a conference program
that will capture the excitement of riding the waves as new results in all branches of chemistry are presented.
But your visit to Nova Scotia’s capital city need not be all work. Halifax was founded in 1749 and although
the waterfront is still the heart of this vibrant city, you will be able to enjoy the many fine restaurants, pubs and
east-coast music venues without fear of being taken by the press gangs of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy. Moreover,
your hotel is likely only a few short blocks up the hill toward the Halifax Citadel, which represents the city’s role
as warden of the north.
On behalf of the CSC 2016 Organizing Committee, I welcome you to our fine city and beautiful province.

Challenges and Opportunities for Chemical ScientistsGrowing societal and government pressures regarding areas such as health, environment and energy represent
major challenges and opportunities to the chemical sector. Public concerns regarding Canadian oil pipeline
proposals, chemical spills, global warming and extreme weather are regularly highlighted in the news. Chemical
scientists and engineers are poised to play a major role in addressing these challenges as they affect oil-sands,
pulp and paper, mining and chemical production companies as well as emerging industries such as bio-based
chemicals. Solutions that fit the needs of business and the economy need to be aligned with societal goals of
limiting adverse effects on health and environment. How companies and other organizations achieve this as well
as human resources forecasting, will be discussed, highlighting important challenges and opportunities today
and in the next 5-10 years.
A complimentary lunch will be provided.

Chemistry in “Lab on a Chip”: Discovery and Development
Over the past decade, microfluidics emerged as an efficient research tool in chemistry, physics, optics, fluid
mechanics, biology and clinical medicine. It also showed very promising applications in producing high-value
materials. I will review our progress in two research fields. In the first group of projects, we focused on funda-
mental studies of chemical reactions involving carbon dioxide (CO2). Gas-liquid reactions involving CO2, one of
the most important greenhouse gases, are of great practical and fundamental importance. To generate efficient
catalysts and optimize chemical formulations for CO2 sequestration, fundamental knowledge has to be devel-
oped on the mechanisms of gas-liquid reactions, their kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics and physical
CO2-related processes, e.g., extraction and phase separation. We developed a microfluidic platform for fundamen-
tal studies and screening of CO2 reactions using two exemplary systems: “switchable solvents” and frustrated
Lewis pairs. In the second group of projects, microfluidics was used for continuous, “on chip” generation of poly-
mer colloids with precisely controlled dimensions, shapes, morphologies, and compositions. These properties are
challenging to control or impossible to achieve in conventional synthesis of polymer particles. For the polymer
particles produced by microfluidic methods, we show several interesting and important applications, including
cell co-encapsulation, synthesis and fabrication of artificial extracellular matrices, fundamental studies of throm-
boembolism, and development of new self-assembly techniques using the combination of flow and confinement.

Stephen G Withers, FCICUniversity of British Columbia
Design and Discovery of Enzyme Inhibitors towards Therapies for Diabetes and Influenza
Carbohydrates play important roles in biological systems, not only in the form of energy storage materials
such as starch, but also as “recognition elements” on cell surfaces. The degradation of such sugar structures
is achieved using enzymes known as glycoside hydrolases (glycosidases). Inhibitors of these glycosidases are
not only useful tools for understanding enzyme mechanisms, but also can play important roles as therapeutics
if inhibition suppresses unwanted reactions. I shall illustrate this with several of our recent examples. The first
concerns the design and synthesis of potent and specific mechanism-based inhibitors of the neuraminidase
enzyme from influenza virus - the target of the drug Tamiflu. These protect mice and ferrets from the lethal
effects of flu. I shall then show how high-throughput screening of natural product extract libraries from
terrestrial and marine sources, in conjunction with my colleague Ray Andersen, has yielded two new classes
of potent (Ki = 8 nM and 10 pM) inhibitors of the human starch-digesting enzyme a-amylase. Importantly,
good control of blood glucose levels in diabetic rats is seen. Structural studies with these inhibitors reveal a
new paradigm for glycosidase inhibition that we are currently exploiting and exploring.

Leadership Matters: What They Didn’t Tell You about a Career in Chemistry
One might expect that a career in chemistry will involve chemistry. And if we are fortunate, it does. However,
during the course of your career, you will undoubtedly find yourself in an administrative/leadership role of
some description. In academia, such roles (above that of a professor!) are often viewed as an unwanted burden;
“Congratulations.....or shall I say commiserations?” was a common phrase I heard after being appointed as
Chair of my Department. On the contrary, I found the role of Chair, and other leadership roles I have held, to
be quite challenging, fulfilling and even (gasp!) fun. In this presentation, I will share some of the knowledge
acquired and valuable advice received which enriched my experiences as a researcher, a teacher and an
administrator. With a bit of luck, and some humour, I hope to convince you that leadership roles are critical,
not only to your success, but also for the success of chemistry at all levels, and need to be embraced.
