PUBLICATION
- * Pure and Applied Chemistry
- The IUPAC Journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry, is distributed
monthly and contains lectures from selected IUPAC-sponsored conferences, as
well as Technical Reports and Recommendations from IUPAC. A year after the
complete publication of a volume, the entire contents are made available
at no charge on the IUPAC web site. In addition to all IUPAC Technical Reports
and Recommendations, the full texts of papers associated with published IUPAC-sponsored
conferences are also made freely accessible. The entire contents of Vol 74,
2002 of the IUPAC Journal is now accessible online. <http://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/2002/index.html>
OTHER NEWS
- *IUPAC-sponsored Conferences
- Each year, IUPAC Sponsors approximately 30 conferences that cover a
wide range of specialized topics in chemistry. IUPAC-sponsored Conferences
include conferences organized both by IUPAC bodies and by other scientific
organizations. <http://www.iupac.org/symposia/index.html>
*Pure and Applied Chemistry
The IUPAC Journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry, is distributed
monthly and contains lectures from selected IUPAC-sponsored conferences, as
well as Technical Reports and Recommendations from IUPAC. Abstracts
for the lectures are freely available online when an issue is published,
as are the full texts of Technical Reports and Recommendations. One
year after a volume is completed, the entire contents of the volume are made
available on the IUPAC Website. Volume 74, published in 2002, is now available.
IUPAC strives to be a part of the movement to provide free and open access
to scientific information via the internet. It recognizes that researchers
living in particular regions may not possess the financial resources necessary
to purchase journals and texts vital to their efforts. By providing
free access to Technical Reports and Recommendations at the time of publication,
IUPAC is helping to disseminate information necessary for the worldwide communication
of chemical data.
Highlights from Volume 74 include lectures presented at the 11th IUPAC International
Symposium on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis,
15th International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry, 3rd IUPAC International
Conference on Biodiversity, 3rd Florida Conference on Heterocyclic Chemistry,
13th International Symposium on Carotenoids, 10th International Symposium
on Solubility Phenomena, 5th Conference on Solid State Chemistry, and the
IUPAC Workshop: Impact of scientific developments on the Chemical Weapons
Convention.
There were also two Special Topics covered within the Volume, each in its
own issue: the Science of Sweeteners and Nanostructured Advanced Materials.
Recommendations and Technical Reports from IUPAC published in 2002 include
Naming of new elements; Measurement of pH. Definition, standards, and procedures;
Natural and synthetic substances related to human health; and Isotope-abundance
variations of selected elements.

*IUPAC-sponsored Conferences
Each year, IUPAC Sponsors approximately 30 conferences that cover a wide
range of specialized topics in chemistry. IUPAC Sponsorship attests
to the quality of a conference, and also that the conference is open to all
bona fide scientists without restrictions. IUPAC-sponsored Conferences
include meetings organized by IUPAC bodies, as well as meetings coordinated
by other scientific organizations. For more information related to
conference sponsorship and future conferences, visit <http://www.iupac.org/symposia/index.html>.

IUPAC was formed in 1919 by chemists from industry and academia. For over
eight decades, the Union has succeeded in fostering worldwide communications
in the chemical sciences and in uniting academic, industrial and public sector
chemistry in a common language. IUPAC is recognized as the world authority
on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement,
atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data. In more recent years,
IUPAC has been pro-active in establishing a wide range of conferences and
projects designed to promote and stimulate modern developments in chemistry,
and also to assist in aspects of chemical education and the public understanding
of chemistry.
IUPAC's next Congress and General Assembly will be held in Beijing, China
14-19 August 2005.
