We end our contribution to this editorial initiative of the European Academy of Science by recalling the leading role played by the European quantum chemistry community in the development of quantum mechanical (QM) solvation models. We cite, as an example, the first quantum chemistry continuum solvation code developed by Rivail s group in Nancy in 1973 [43], However, this initiative to address the solvation problem from a QM point of view was not entirely out-of-the-blue. It was, on the contrary, a response to the challenges stimulated by a limited number of scientists working in France and in Italy (Paris, Nancy, Pisa), with strong contact, in competition and also in collaboration to each others [44], More than 30 years later, the European quantum chemistry community is still at the forefront in the development of QM continuum solvation models, and we hope that the present contribution can be considered as a testimony of this activity.

Sponsored by the European Community, a Ct chemistry course was organized at Aachen by Prof. Keim. Dr Bchr and Dr Roper of the Technical University of Aachen, Prof, Teyssie and Prof. Hubert of the University of Liege and Prof. L go of the University of. Milan. The three-day course devoted to the application of predominantly liom( cneous transition metal based catalysis in C molecules formed the skeleton for this botrk. In nine chapters the following topics are covered the reduction of CO and reactions with CO. the chemistry of methanol, activation of carbon dioxide, hydrocyanation. methane chemistry and carbene chemistry.

In order to ensure harmony with chemical nomenclature, there is available a number of international and national listings. Some of these are the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) the Classification of Chemicals in the Customs Tariff of the European Communities the Chemical Abstracts Service List International Standard ISO 1750 (pesticides and other agrochemicals) and, British Standard 2472 1965 recommended names for chemicals used in industry.
