Three new publications are currently being evaluated for their usefulness in locating new published literature which has not yet appeared in the abstract journals and review articles abstracted in Chemical Abstracts Chemical Titles, Bibliography of Chemical Reviews, and Index Chemicus. The first two are new services provided by Chemical Abstracts and it is hoped that they will bridge the gap between the publication date of an article and the appearance of the corresponding annual index of Chemical Abstracts by means of which the abstract of the original article may be found in Chemical Abstracts. Index Chemicus is a compilation of new compounds disclosed in the current literature and the corresponding references. This new journal is published by the Institute of Scientific Information, Philadelphia, Pa. 

Uhl and Breher used AIM to understand the bonding in newly synthesized carbaalanes. In particular, the B3LYP/6-31+G(d)) electron density of the model compounds Al8H8(CH)5 (R = H, CCH) shows that each C is connected to one H and four Als via BPs. Each A1 is is connected to one H and three C atoms. The bridging H is connected to four Als, but no BP is discovered between any two Als of the Al8 acube, which is in line with the average Wiberg bond index.
