The Symbols Committee of The Royal Society, of which The Royal Society of Chemistry is a participating member, 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 WIV OBN). These recommendations are applied by The Royal Society of Cemistry 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, 0, E, F, and H (Pergamon, Oxford, 1979 edn).Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (Butteworths, London, 1971, now published by Pergamon). Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents (The Biochemical Society, London, 1978). Compendium of Chemical Terminology: IUPAC Recommendations (Blackwells, Oxford, 1987). A complete listing of all IUPAC nomenclature publications appears in the January 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. (vii)THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY GENERAL DISCUSSION No.8 6 Spectroscopy at Low Temperatures University of Exeter, 13-15 September 1988 Organising Committee: Professor A. C. Legon (Chairman) Dr P. B. Davies Dr B. J. Howard Dr P. R. R. Langridge-Smith Dr R. N. Perutz Dr M. Poliakoff The Discussion will focus on recent developments in spectroscopy of transient species (ions, radicals, clusters and complexes) in matrices or free jet expansions. The aim of the meeting is to bring together scientists interested in similar problems but viewed from the perspective of different environments. The Introductory Lecture will be given by G. C. Pirnentel and speakers include: L. Andrews, K. H. Bowen, B. J. Howard, L. B. Knight Jr, E. Knozinger, D. H. Levy, J. P. Maier, J. Michl, M. Moskovits, A.J. Stace, M. Takami, J. J. Turner, M.

(viii)THE FARADAY DIVISION OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY SYMPOSIUM Orientation and Polarization Effects in Reactive Col I isions To be held at the Physikzentrum, Bad Honnef, West Germany, 12-14 December 1988 Orga nising Committee : Dr S.Stolte Professor J. P. Simons Dr K. Burnett Dr H. Loesch Professor R. N. Dixon Professor R. A. Levine The Symposium will focus on the study of vector properties in reaction dynamics and photodissociation rather than the more traditional scalar quantities such as energy disposal, integral cross-sections and branching ratios. Experimental and theoretical advances have now reached the stage where studies of Dynamical Stereochemistry can begin to map the anisotropy of chemical interactions. The Symposium will provide an impetus to the development of 3-D theories of reaction dynamics and assess the quality and scope of the experiments that are providing this impetus. Contributions for consideration by the Organising Committee are invited in the following areas: (A) Collisions of oriented or rotationally aligned molecular reagents (6) Collisions of orbitally aligned atomic reagents (C) Photoinitiated ‘collisions’ in van der Waals complexes (D) Polarisation of the products of full and half-collisional processes 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. 87 Catalysis by Well Characterised Materials University of Liverpool, 11-13 April 1989 Organising Committee: Professor R. W. Joyner (Chairman) Professor A. K. Cheetham Professor F. S. Stone The understanding of heterogeneous catalysis is an important academic activity, which compliments industry‘s continuing search for novel and more efficient catalytic processes.The emergence of relevant, in particular in situ techniques and new developments of well established experimental approaches to catalyst characterisation are making a very significant impact on our knowledge of catalyst composition, structure, morphology and their inter-relationships. Well characterised catalysts, which will be the subject of the Faraday Discussion, include single-crystal surfaces, whether of metals, oxides or sulphides; crystalline microporous solids, such as zeolites and clays, and appropriate industrial catalysts. The elucidation of structure/function relationships and catalytic mechanism will be important aspects of the scientific programme.Contributions describing novel methods for synthesising well characterised catalysts and also reporting important advances in characterisation techniques will also be welcome. Contributions for consideration by the Organising Committee are invited and abstracts of about 300 words should be sent by 31 May 1988 to: Professor R. W. Joyner, Leverhulme Centre for Innovative Catalysis, Department of Inorganic, Physical and Industrial Chemistry, University of Liverpool, Grove Street, P. 0. Box 147, Liverpool L69 3BX.
