I am grateful for this opportunity to wish members of IUPAC bodies and adhering organizatins, fellows, affiliate members, and company associates a successful, fruitful, and healthy year in 2017. Many of us will meet in São Paulo, Brazil, in July, at the IUPAC General Assembly and the 46th World Chemistry Congress, for the first time to be held in South America, to discuss the directions of the Union’s activities as IUPAC is moving to its’ centenary in 2019.

Taking IUPAC Literally: Woodward’s Pure and Applied Chemistry Words

Jeffrey I. Seeman

Page range: 4-9

Abstract

According to IUPAC, “ Pure and Applied Chemistry is the official monthly Journal of IUPAC, with responsibility for publishing works arising from those international scientific events and projects that are sponsored and undertaken by the Union.” There is no doubt that PAC has and continues to achieve its goal of being “an authoritative and indispensable holding in academic and institutional libraries.”

The Periodic Table (continued?): Eka-francium Et Seq.

Paul J. Karol

Page range: 10-14

Abstract

Ironically, the IUPAC Gold Book includes no definition of the “Periodic Table”. Nevertheless, Chemistry International’s readership assuredly knows what the Periodic Table is, or at least, what it has been, since that perception might change in the future. If the conversation is to be about prospects beyond the element with atomic number Z = 118, two essential questions must be answered: Where are we going? How will we get there?

Chemistry Organizations in a Changing World

Abstract

Building bridges between global thinking and local action was the tag line of the 2016 International Year of Global Understanding. [1] This provides an invaluable opportunity for chemistry organizations to rethink their roles and responsibilities in a global context. For IUPAC, its approaching centenary adds a further impetus to the continual quest for sustainability, relevance, and value. Chemistry organizations have a long tradition of helping to develop and promote the interests of the subject and its practitioners. In a rapidly changing world, what is their fundamental purpose, what should be their roles, and how can they refresh themselves to best serve the field and also society at large?

About this journal

Chemistry International (CI) is the newsmagazine of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). News about IUPAC, its chemists, publications, recommendations, conferences and the work of its Divisions and Committees along with special feature articles is published quarterly in CI.

From 2022 onwards, CI is an online only publication and is freely accessible to all readers. The print edition has been discontinued.

In recognition of IUPAC’s Centenary in 2019, a new initiative, the Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry, was launched. The purpose of the initiative is to showcase the value of Chemistry and chemists and to inform the general public on how the chemical sciences contribute to the well-being of society and the sustainability of planet Earth. An article about The Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry is published annually in CI. For further information go to: https://iupac.org/what-we-do/top-ten/
