JOURNAL OF THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY FARADAY TRANSACTIONS, PARTS I A N D I 1 The Journal of The Chemical Society is issued in six sections: Journal of The Chemical Society, Chemical Communications Journal of The Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions Journal of The Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions, I Journal of The Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions, II Journal of The Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions, I Journal of The Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions, II Thus, five of the sections are directly associated with three of the Divisions of The Royal Society of Chemistry: the sixth is Chemical Communications. This continues to be the medium for the publication of urgent, novel results from all branches of chemistry. Communications should not normally exceed one printed page in length and authors are required to submit three copies of the typescript and two copies of a statement of the reasons and justification for seeking urgent publication of the work.This Section is intended to be essentially a journal for inorganic chemists containing papers on the structure and reactions of inorganic compounds and the application of physical chemistry techniques to, e.g. the study of inorganic and organometallic compounds and problems, including work on the kinetics and mechanisms of inorganic reactions and equilibria, and spectroscopic and crystallographic studies of inorganic compounds. Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions, I and II These are, respectively, physical chemistry and chemical physics journals. P A R T I (physical chemistry) includes papers on such topics as radiation chemistry, gas-phase kinetics, electrochemistry (other than preparative), surface and interfacial chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, physical properties of polymers and their solutions and kinetics of polymerization, etc.P A R T I I (chemical physics) contains theoretical papers, especially those on valence and quantum theory, statistical mechanics, intermolecular forces, relaxation phenom- ena, spectroscopic studies (including i.r., e.s.r., n.m.r., and kinetic spectroscopy, etc.) leading to assignments of quantum states, and fundamental theory, and also studies of impurities in solid systems, etc. Journal of The Chemical Society, Chemical Communications Journal of The Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions Journal of The Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions, I and II These are, respectively, the organic chemistry and the physical organic chemistry sections of the Journal.P A R T I (organic and bio-organic chemistry) is designed to contain papers on all aspects of synthetic, and natural product organic and bio-organic chemistry and to deal with aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, carboncyclic and heterocyclic compounds. Papers on organometallic topics are considered for either the Dalton or the Perkin Transactions. iPART I I (physical organic chemistry) is for papers on reaction kinetics and mechanistic studies of organic systems and the use of physico-chemical, spectroscopic, and crystallographic techniques in the solution of organic problems. Notice to Authors (1) Although authors need not be members of the Royal Society of Chemistry it is hoped that they will be.(2) Authors must indicate the Part of the Journal they wish their paper to appear in. This preference will be respected unless it is obviously erroneous in terms of the scientific content of the paper.

Clementi Professor E. Clementi (International Business Machines Corporation, U.S.A.) will give the 1982 Bourke Lectures at the following venues: Monday, 18 October at Birkbeck College, London Tuesday, 19 October at Cambridge University Wednesday, 20 October at Oxford University Thursday, 21 October at Sheffield University Friday, 22 October at St Andrews University Further information may be obtained from: Mrs Y.A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London WIV OBN THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY SYMPOSIUM NO. 1 7 The Hydrophobic Interaction University of Reading, 15-1 6 December 1982 This term refers to interactions between chemically inert residues arising from perturbations in the unique spatial and orientational correlations in liquid water. These effects provide a major contribution to many of the non-covalently bonded structures that form the basis of life processes.Current advances in the statistical mechanics of polar fluids, intermolecular forces, computer simulation, and membrane physics are providing a new basis for the re-examination of various aspects of hydrophobic effects, their origin and their quantitative description. Such theoretical treatments will be confronted with recent experimental work on simple model systems which, it is hoped, will lead to a better understanding of hydrophobic interactions in more complex processes. The following have agreed to contribute to the symposium: A. Ben-Naim, H. J. C. Berendsen, D. L. Beveridge, S. D. Christian, L. Cordone, D. Eagland, D. Eisenberg, R. Lumry, P. J. Rossky, M. C. R. Symons, H. Weingartner, M. D. Zeidler The programme and application form may be obtained from: Mrs Y.A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry Burlington House, London W1V OBN ... 111THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 75 Intramolecular Kinetics University of Warwick, 18-20 April 1983 Organising Committee Professor J. P . Simons (Chairman) Dr M. S. Child Professor R. J. Donovan Dr G. Hancock Experimental and theoretical interest in the time-dependent behaviour of isolated molecules, radicals or ions is strong and increasing. The Discussion will be concerned with the kinetics of processes which occur in isolated species following their preparation in states with non-equilibrium energy distributions (e.g. by photon absorption or collisional activation). Topics covered will include: (a) theoretical and experimental studies of energy redistribution in isolated species; ( b ) observation and theoretical modelling of the competition between intramolecular energy redistribution and radiative decay or radiationless processes (e.g.internal conversion, fragmentation, isomerisation). The preliminary programme may be obtained from: Mrs Y. A. Fish, The Royal Society of Chemistry Burlington House, London W1V OBN Dr D. M. Hirst Professor K. R. Jennings Dr R. Walsh THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO. 76 Concentrated Colloidal Dispersions Loughborough University of Technology, 14-1 6 September 1983 The meeting will discuss the experimental investigation and the theoretical description of the properties of concentrated colloidal dispersions, i.e.those systems in which the particlc+particle interactions are strong enough to cause significant deviations from ideal behaviour. Both the structural and dynamic features of concentrated systems as determined by scattering, rheological and other techniques will be considered. It is anticipated that a range of dispersion types will be discussed. These will include both 'model' systems and dispersions of importance to industry provided that the data from the measurements can be interpreted.

OttewiII, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Cantock's Close, Bristol BS8 1TS ivTHE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY SYMPOSIUM NO. 18 Molecular and Microstructural Basis of Viscoelasticity and Related Phenomena Robinson College, Cambridge, 8-9 December 1983 Organising Committee Sir Geoffrey Allen (Chairman) Professor Sir Sam Edwards Dr M.La1 The past few years have witnessed the development of new concepts which provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between molecular dynamic and microstructural features of systems and their viscoelastic behaviour. This Symposium is designed to bring together original contributions involving theoretical, computational and experimental studies which represent significant advances in this important field of current activity. It is hoped that such contributions, together with the discussion that they will generate, will lead to new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the viscoelastic/rheological behaviour of, for example, flexible and rigid rod-like polymer molecules, liquid crystals and composites.In addition to three oral sessions (at which the main papers will be presented and discussed), the Symposium may include a poster session. Such poster papers will not be published in the Symposium volume. Contributions for consideration by the organising committee are invited. Abstracts of ca. 300 words should be sent to: Dr M. Lal, Unilever Research, Port Sunlight Laboratory, Bebington, Wirral L63 3JW not later than 29 October 1982. Full papers for publication in the Symposium volume will be required by 19 August 1983. Dr R. A. Pethrick Dr P. Richmond Dr D. A. Young (Editor) THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION NO.77 Interfacial Kinetics in Solution University of Hull, 9-11 April 1984 This Discussion will focus attention on reactions involving liquid-gas, liquid-liquid and liquid-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.Contributions for consideration by the organising committee are invited. Titles should be submitted as soon as possible, and abstracts of about 300 words by 15th April 1983, to: Professor D. H.

The Royal Society of Chemistry Burlington House Piccadilly London W1V OBN viiNOTES I t 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 “Notes” 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 ‘ I full papers” section.As a guide a “ Note” should not exceed I500 words or word-equivalents. NOMENCLATURE AND SYMBOLISM 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 rules themselves and guidance on their use are given.Physicochemical Quantities and Units. Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units. (Pure and Appl. Chem., Vol. 51, No. 1, 1979, pp. 141. Also available as a soft-cover booklet from Pergahon Press, Oxford.) Surface Chemistry. ‘ Definitions, Terminology, and Symbols in Colloid and Surface Chemistry - I.’ (Purr and Appl. Chem., Vol. 31, No. 4, 1972, pp. 577-638.) ‘ Definitions, Terminology, and Symbols in Colloid and Surface Chemistry - 11. Heterogenous Catalysis. ’ (Pure and Appl. Chem., Vol. 46, No. I , 1976, In addition, the terminology and symbols for the following subject areas are available either in the form of soft-cover booklets from Pergamon Press (denoted by *) or have been the subject of articles in Pure and Applied Chemistry in recent years: activities;* chromatography; electrochemistry; electron spectroscopy; equilibria, fluid flow; ion exchange; liquid-liquid distribution; molecular force constants; Mossbauer spectra; nuclear chemistry; pH ; polymers; quantum chemistry; radiation;* Raman spectra; reference materials (recommended reference materials for the realization of physico- chemical properties: general introduction, enthalpy, optical rotation, surface tension, optical refraction, molecular weight, absorbance and wavelength, pressure-volume- temperature relationships, reflectance, potentiometric ion activities, testing distillation columns); solution chemistry; spectrochemical analysis; surface chemistry; thermo- dynamics, and zeolites. Finally, the rules for the naming of organic and inorganic compounds are dealt with in the following publications from Pergamon Press: ‘Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Sections A, B, C , D, E, F, and H’, 1979. ‘Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry’, 1971. A complete listing of all IUPAC nomenclature publications appears in the 198 1 Index issues of J . Chem. SOC. pp. 71-90.) ... Vlll
