JOURNAL OF T H E CHEMICAL SOCIETY F A R A D A Y T R A N S A C T I O N S , P A R T S 1 A N D 11 The Journal of the Chemical Society is published in six sections, of which five are termed Transactions; these are distinguished by their subject matter, as follows: Dalton Transactions (Inorganic Chemistry). All aspects of the chemistry of inorganic and organometallic compounds ; including bioinorganic chemistry and solid-state inorganic chemistry ; of their structures, properties, and reactions, including kinetics and mechanisms; new or improved experimental techniques and syntheses. Faraday Transactions I (Physical Chemistry). Radiation chemistry, gas-phase kine tics, elect roc hemi st ry (0 t her than preparative), surface and inter facial chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, physical properties of polymers and their solutions, and kinetics of polymerization, etc.Faraday Transactions I1 (Chemical Physics). Theoretical chemistry, especially valence and quantum theory, statistical mechanics, intermolecular forces, relaxation phenomena, spectroscopic studies (including i.r., e.s.r., n.m.r., and kinetic spec- troscopy, etc.) leading to assignments of quantum states, and fundamental theory.

Physical aspects of bio-organic chemistry and of organic compounds, including polymers and biopolymers. Authors are requested to indicate, at the time they submit a typescript, the journal for which it is intended. Should this seem unsuitable, the Editor will inform the author. The sixth section of the Journal of the Chemical Society is Chemical Communications, which is intended as a forum for preliminary accounts of original and significant work, in any area of chemistry that is likely to prove of wide general appeal or exceptional specialist interest. Such preliminary reports should be followed up eventually by full papers in other journals (e.g. the five Transactions) providing detailed accounts of the work.NOTES It has always been the policy of the Faraday Transactions that brevity should not be a factor influencing acceptability for publication. In addition however to full papers both sections carry at the end of each issue a section headed ‘Notes’, which are short self-contained accounts of experimental observations,, results, or theory that will not require enlargement into.‘full’ papers. The Ncjtes section is not used for preliminary communications. The layout of a Note is the same as that of a paper. Short summaries are required. The procedure for submission, administration, refereeing, editing and publication of Notes is the same as for full papers.However, Notes are published more quickly than papers since their brevity facilitates processing at all stages. The Editors endeavour to meet authors’ wishes as to whether an article is a full paper or a Note, but since there is no sharp dividing line between the one and the other, either in terms of length or character of content, the right is retained to transfer overlong Notes to the full papers section. As a guide a Note should not exceed 1500 words or word-equivalents.NOMENCLATURE AND SYMBOLISM Units and Symbols. The Symbols Committee of The Royal Society, of which The Royal Society of Chemistry is a participatingmember, has produced a set of recommendations in a pamphlet ‘Quantities, Units, and Symbols’ (1975) (copies of this pamphlet and further details can be obtained from the Manager, Journals, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London W 1V OBN).These recommendations are applied by The Royal Society of Chemistry in all its publications. Their basis is the ‘ Systeme International d’Unites’ (SI). A more detailed treatment of units and symbols with specific application to chemistry is given in the IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units (Pergamon, Oxford, 1979). Nomenclature. For many years the Society has actively encouraged the use of standard IUPAC nomenclature and symbolism in its publications as an aid to the accurate and unambiguous communication of chemical information between authors and readers.In order to encourage authors to use IUPAC nomenclature rules when drafting papers, attention is drawn to the following publications in which both the rules themselves and guidance on their use are given: Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Sections A , B, C , D, E, F, and H (Pergamon, Oxford, 1979 edn). Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (Butterworths, London, 197 1, now published by Pergamon). Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents (The Biochemical Society, London, 1978). A complete listing of all IUPAC nomenclature publications appears in the Index issues of J. Chem. SOC., Faraday Transactions. It is recommended that where there are no IUPAC rules for the naming of particular compounds or authors find difficulty in applying the existing rules, they should seek the advice of the Society’s editorial staff.(ii)1 THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 77 Interfacial Kinetics in Solution University of Hull, S l l April 1984 This Discussion will focus attention on reactions involving Iiquid-gas, Iiquid-liquid and Iiquid-solid interfaces (but it will not include electrode kinetics as such) The subject encompasses processes of fundamental, industrial and environmental importance and includes such topics as the rate of dissolution of reactive gases, kinetics at liquid membranes, metal and solvent extraction, Marangoni effects, heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis in solution, and the kinetics of dissolution of minerals and drugs The aim of the meeting is to bring together workers in these diverse fields to highlight the complementary nature of the problems encountered and of the results obtained, and to disseminate ideas concerning new and effective experimental techniques and novel theoretical approaches The programme and application form may be obtained from: Mrs Y.A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London W1V OBN THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 78 Radicals in Condensed Phases University of Leicester, 4-6 September 1984 Organising Committee Professor M C . R. Symons (Chairman) Dr K. A. McLauchlan Dr G. B. Buxton Dr T. A. Claxton Professor Lord Tedder Dr R. L. Willson The discussion will be primarily concerned with the structure and reactions of radicals in liquids and solids.It is designed to bring together theoretical work on structure, environmental effects and reactivity with spectroscopic and mechanistic studies directly concerned with radicals. Fundamental aspects will be stressed, and particular attention will be given to new developments including measurement at short time intervals, special solvent effects, and the effects of external fields. A special area for inclusion will be electron gain and loss processes including trapped and solvated electrons, electrochemical reactions, and specific electron capture and electron loss in low-temperature systems. Photochemical charge-transfer processes will also be included. The preliminary programme may be obtained from : Mrs Y. A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London W1V OBNTHE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY SYMPOSIUM NO.1 9 Molecular Electronic Structure Calculations- Methods and Applications University of Cambridge, 12-1 3 December 1984 N.B. Please note change of date Molecular electronic structure calculations have now developed into a powerful predictive tool and are necessary in several different fields to aid the understanding and interpretation of experimental observations. The meeting will review the current state of this rapidly developing discipline and will bring together experts on some of the most advanced methods and their applications. The meeting will provide an opportunity for discussion and comparison of the various techniques currently in use. It will therefore not only be a valuable forum for discussion among research workers in the field, but should also show the non-specialist what theoretical calculations can be expected to achieve now and in the near future.The preliminary programme may be obtained from : Mrs Y. A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London W1V OBN THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 7 9 Polymer Liquid Crystals University of Cambridge, 1-3 April 1985 The object of the meeting will be to discuss all aspects of the developing subject of polymeric liquid crystals. The hope is to bring together scientists from the fields of conventional polymer science and monomeric liquid crystals who are active in this field. The discussion is aimed at understanding the following facets: (a) The chemical characteristics that give rise to polymer liquid crystalline behaviour.(b) The nature of the high local anisotropy of these systems and their structural organisation at the molecular, micron and macroscopic levels. (c) The physical properties and their industrial exploitation, with particular reference to the influence of external force fields such as flow, electric and magnetic fields. (d) The inter-relations of polymer liquid crystals with small-molecule mesophases, conventional flexible polymers and biopolymers which exhibit liquid-crystalline behaviour. Contributions are invited for consideration by the Organising Committee. A title and 300- word abstract should be submitted as soon as convenient and not later than 31 May 1984 Professor B.R. Jennings, Electro-optics Group, Department of Physics, Brunel University, Uxbridge UB8 3PH.THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 80 Physical Interactions and Energy Exchange a t the Gas-Solid Interface McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, 23-25 July 1985 Organising Committee Professor J. A. Morrison (Chairman) Dr M. L. Klein Professor G. Scoles Professor W. A. Steele Professor F. S. Stone Dr R. K. Thomas The discussion will be concerned with certain aspects of current research on the gas-solid interface: elastic, inelastic and dissipative scattering of atoms and molecules from crystal surfaces, and the structure and dynamics of physisorbed species, including overlayers. Emphasis will be placed on the themes of physical interactions and energy exchange rather than on molecular-beam technology or the phenomenology of phase transitions on overlayers.The interplay between theory and experiment will be stressed as they relate to the nature of atom and molecule surface interaction potentials, including many-body effects. Contributions for consideration by the Organising Committee are invited; titles should be submitted as soon as possible, and abstracts of about 200 words by 31 May 1984, to: Professor J. A.
