The Russian publication Zhurnal Analiticheskoi Khimii, which now appears in English as Journal of Analytical Chemistry, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1996. Articles have appeared describing the Zhurnal s creation and subsequent history,20 and the development of analytical chemistry in Russia during the Zhurnal s first half century.21 The role of A. P. Vinogradov, the first editor of the Zhurnal, in the development of Russian analytical chemistry has been appraised.22 The Zhurnal also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Vernadsky Institute by reviewing its contributions to analytical chemistry.23... 

A. B. Sheremetev and N. N. Makhova (N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow, Russia) and W. Friedrichsen (University of Kiel, Germany) have reviewed the monocyclic furazans and furoxans. While much of the early work in this area was published in the German and Italian literature, more recently, a large amount has appeared in Russian journals, much of it being released for publication only during the last ten years. This survey should be of great utility to Western readers. 

The explicit mathematical treatment for such stationary-state situations at certain ion-selective membranes was performed by Iljuschenko and Mirkin 106). As the publication is in Russian and in a not widely distributed journal, their work will be cited in the appendix. The authors obtain an equation (s. (34) on page 28) similar to the one developed by Eisenman et al. 6) for glass membranes using the three-segment potential approach. However, the mobilities used in the stationary-state treatment are those which describe the ion migration in an electric field through a diffusion layer at the phase boundary. A diffusion process through the entire membrane with constant ion mobilities does not have to be assumed. The non-Nernstian behavior of extremely thin layers (i.e., ISFET) can therefore also be described, as well as the role of an electron transfer at solid-state membranes. 

Information was gleaned from each original publication except where an additional reference to Chemical Abstracts is included. Each citation of a Russian journal or Angewandte Chemie refers to the original Russian or German version, not to any subsequent English translation. Abbreviations for journal titles are those recommended in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (1994) and quarterly supplements. 

Listings of titles are valuable, as far as they go, but they do not tell what is in the paper, beyond the implications carried by the titles. From the earliest days of organic chemistry, abstracts of papers have been widely available, often as sections of journals whose principal interests lay elsewhere.14 At the present time there are only two publications entirely devoted to abstracts covering the whole field of chemistry. One of these, Referativnyi Zhurnal, Khimiya, which began in 1953, is published in Russian and is chiefly of interest to Russian-... 

Translations. This collection contains abstracts and complete translations of Russian and other foreign technical publications as well as weekly reviews of various areas of Soviet science. Among the translation series available through the Office of Technical Services on a subscription basis are Current Review of the Soviet Technical Press (weekly) and English Abstracts of Selected Articles from Soviet Bloc and Mainland China Technical Journals. Translations are assigned an identification number which consists of the year of the translation followed by the accession number. All translations received by OTS or the John Crerar Library in Chicago are announced in Technical Translations, which is discussed below. 

Prof V. Charushin is author of over 380 publications in the fields of heterocyclic and medicinal chemistry, including the hoo Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of Hydrogen, (Academic Press, New York, 1994), several chapters in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry and Progress in NMR Spectroscopy, over 20 review articles, and a lot of papers in international journals. He is a member of the editorial boards for Mendeleev Communications, Russian Chemical Reviews, Russian Chemical Bulletin, and Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry. 

His research interests include the chemistry of nitro compounds of both aromatic and heterocyclic nature, as well as the medicinal chemistry. He is author of over 300 publications, including the monograph Nitroazines (Nauka, Novosibirsk, 1991), and six review articles in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Russian Chemical Reviews, Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry, and other journals.

Furthermore, to avoid a jungle of references, papers are not included, if their content does not fit the subject matter of Synthetic Methods and if they can be found easily in the indexes of the abstract journals. Less accessible papers, such as the Russian or Japanese ones, are only abstracted, as a rule, if the method in question is described nowhere else. Since publications dealing with organic chemistry are increasing from year to year, some unintentional omissions may occur. Therefore, the editor will be grateful if they are brought to his attention.
