                     Introduction
                            A one page abstract using this template and an accompanying cover page should be
                     submitted by email to Chuck Orella (orcschair@orcs.org), the Organic Reactions Catalysis
                     Society (ORCS) Chair. Abstracts should summarize results to be presented and be sufficiently
                     descriptive to allow the Editorial Board to judge the quality of the work and suitability for
                     presentation at the conference.   Authors have the option of also submitting a paper to be
                     published in a virtual special issue of the following the conference.  To be included in the                                                                                                
                     virtual issue, papers must be submitted separately.  Detailed submission instructions will be
                     provided in a separate notice. Authors should indicate on the cover page their desire for an oral  Figure 1. Caption text is not bold.  Text within figures should be legible.  Multiple panels can 
                     presentation or poster presentation.  Such indication is not a guarantee of acceptance type since  appear in the figure, but each should be described clearly in the caption.  Other graphics, such 
                     the Society receives more submissions than can be allocated to oral speaker slots.                 as tables and schemes, may also be included.

                     Results and Discussion
                            In this section, please describe the key results and discuss their interpretation and
                     importance.  References to prior literature may be cited [1] as endnotes using brackets.  The
                     format for references is shown in the section at the end of this page.  Tables, graphs and
                     illustrations may be valuable in evaluating the abstracts.  An example figure is show below.
                     Please note that one-page abstracts submitted for the conference and accepted for oral or poster
                     presentation become the property of the ORCS.  The one-page abstract will be provided to
                     conference attendees in the Conference Program and will be available prior to the conference
                     at www.orcs.org. Since the Conference Program will not be printed in color, please ensure your
                     graphics print well in black and white.  The following paragraph shows sample text.
                            Catalysts   were   prepared   to   have   a   range   of   modifier   loadings   from   0.10-0.65
                     monolayers (ML) and subsequently evaluated for performance in the reaction.  Figure 1(a)
                     shows the measured turnover frequency (TOF) and aldehyde selectivity as a function of
                     modifier loading.  This figure shows that increases in modifier loading resulted in a continuous
                     decrease in measured TOF, but a peak in selectivity near 0.30 ML.  Previous work by Smith
                     and coworkers [2] has indicated that the optimum in selectivity may be due to an electron-
                     donating effect of the modifier.  However, we hypothesized that steric interactions between the
                     modifier and reactant also play an important role in dictating selectivity.   To test this
