International Chemical Union

It would be of great importance if the International Chemical Union could recommend only one system to be used when forming chemical names from Greek roots. The most rational system would be to use the Latin transliteration (kappa = c, phi= ph, chi = ch, etc.). 

Immediately after posting the letter Haber traveled to a conference of the International Chemical Union in Santander, on the northern coast of Spain. Einstein s dismissive reply reached him there. I m especially glad. .. that your earlier love for the blond beast has cooled off a bit. Who would have thought that my dear Haber would appear before me as an advocate of the Jewish— and even Palestine s—cause Einstein refused Haber s appeal to meet with Weizmann he had no desire to listen to more of the old fox s lies. He hoped Haber never would return to Germany, where the intellectual class is made up of men who lie on their bellies before common criminals, and even sympathize with those... 

MAK is used as a high soHds coating solvent (163) and in fragrances. It is available in the United States from Eastman (Kingsport, Teimessee), International Chemical Group (La Mesa, California) (47), and Union Carbide (South Charleston, West Virginia), and was priced at 1.36/kg in October 1994. 

European retailers pushed for stronger legal obligations to supply more data on hazardous substances in a report published in February 2005 by the International Chemical Secretariat, a Swedish NGO, together with supporting demands from the European Tread Union Confederation, the Water Industry Body and the European Community of Consumer Co-operatives.

Systematic nomenclature on a worldwide scale began in 1892 when a committee of the International Chemical Congress established a set of standards known as the Geneva Rules for naming organic compounds. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (ILTPAC) http /Ywww,iupac.org/dhtml home.html was formed in 1919 and further developed this nomenclature system. In 1886 in the United States, the American Chemical Society (ACS) established a Committee on... 

This publication is significant given the fact that the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) proposal entered into force in the European Union in June 2007. Additionally, the regional consultation of the Strategic Agreement on International Chemicals Management (SAICM) in Asia was held in May 2007. 

Project Prospect endeavors to use and build acceptance of standards for chemical information by using the International Chemical Identifiers (InChls) created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as a way to provide a nonproprietary way to make chemical information more machine-readable. To illustrate the potential of this in the simplest way, an InChl for benzene (i.e., InChI=l/ C6H6/cl-2-4-6-5-3-l/hl-6H) was pasted into a Google search bar (www.google. com), this resulted in 37 hits in the fall of 2007 and over 1,000 hits 6 months later in the spring of 2008. The top hits were directed at the IUPAC Gold Book as shown in Figure 1.1.

The last planet-like object to be explored is Pluto. Since its discovery in 1930 by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh (1906-97), Pluto has been considered one of the nine planets in the solar system. In August 2006, however, the International Astronomical Union established a new set of criteria for planets that Pluto did not meet. It is now considered a dwarf planet. In spite of its new designation, astronomers remain very interested in the chemical composition and physical characteristics of Pluto. Astronomers do have a fair amount of information about Pluto from ground-based observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite. NASA s New Horizons space mission is expected to provide a great deal more detail about the strange and mysterious astronomical body. New Horizons was launched on January 19, 2006. It is expected to fly by Pluto and its satellite, Charon, in July 2015. 

Recently, a universal string representation method was proposed and published. The International Chemical Identifier,17 or InChl , is a definition and set of methods maintained by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It promises to provide a truly universal character string representation of molecular structure. Whether it will replace the widely used SMILES is yet to be seen. 

There has been some controversy about the naming of the higher synthetic elements because of disputes about their discovery. A long-standing problem concerned element-104 (rutherfordium) which was formerly also known by its Russian name of kurchatovium. More recent confusion has been caused by differences between names suggested by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and the names suggested by the American Chemical Union (ACU). 

Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees (UNITE) United Steelworkers of America (USWA) Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers (OCAW) American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) International Association of Fire Fighters (lAFF) and International Chemical Workers Union (ICWU). In 1999, OCAW merged with the United Paperworkers International Union to form the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical Energy Workers International Union (PACE). In 1996, ICWU merged with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW). 

These agreements, dating from the 1970s, are integrated into the TRANSAID Convention, which is the French Chemical Industries Union s (UIC) commitment to progress ( responsible care ), which applies not only to French authorities in the case of an accident during the transport of hazardous materials in France, but also to authorities in European countries within the framework of the ICE network (International Chemical Environment), started by the CEFIC (Conseil Europeen des Industries Chimiques). In the latter, the TRANSAID file is used by the Cedre (Centre de documentation, de recherche et d expdrimentations sur les pollutions accidentelles des eaux), which is, in the name of the UIC, the French national point of contact in the ICE network.

Boris was greatly respected and liked by his colleagues, students, and collaborators. His ability to make trusted friends led to a considerable amount of national and international collaboration. The latter included Nippon Chemicals, Union Carbide, and major projects, such as the European-Commission-funded INTAS project involving teams of chemists from the United Kingdom and across Russia. He was also a key contributor to a substantial pharmaceutical project with university and hospital scientists in the United Kingdom that, with commercial support, led to clinical trials and potential medical applications. 

Throughout this edition the nomenclature adopted is in general that recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and by the Chemical Society (1959). 

After World War II the International Union of Chemistry became the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (known in the chemical com munity as the lUPAC) Since 1949 the lUPAC has is sued reports on chemical nomenclature on a regular basis The most recent lUPAC rules for organic chem istry were published in 1993 The lUPAC rules often offer several different ways to name a single com pound Thus although it is true that no two com... 

Symbols separated by commas represent equivalent recommendations. Symbols for physical and chemical quantities should be printed in italic type. Subscripts and superscripts which are themselves symbols for physical quantities should be italicized all others should be in Roman type. Vectors and matrices should be printed in boldface italic type, e.g., B, b. Symbols for units should be printed in Roman type and should remain unaltered in the plural, and should not be followed by a full stop except at the end of a sentence.
