MIDLANDS SECTION AND PHYSICAL METHODS (;I<OL.JP -1 JoIwr Meeting of the Midlands Section and the Physical Methods Group with the East nIidlands Section of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and the Leicester University Chemical Society was held at 7 p.m.on Tuesday February 25th 1964 in the Department of Chemistry The University Leicester. The Chair was taken by the Chairman of tlie East Midlands Section Dr. R. F. Phillips M.A. A.M.I.Chem.E. M.Inst.F. F.R.I.C. The subject of the meeting was “Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy” and tlie following p i p ~ r s u.ere presented and discussed “A Brief Review of Progress in tlie Field of Atomic ,Ib.sorption Spectroscopy,” by J . B. Dawson B.Sc. Pli.D. ,4.Inst.P. ; “Tlie Chemistry of l k n e s ” by T. 11. Sugden Sc.D. F.R.S. (see summaries below). A BRIEF REVIEW 01; PROGRESS IN THE FIELD 01; ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY L>IL DAWSON said that the advantages of high sensitivity freedom from radia- tion interference and reduced dependence on flame temperature of atomic absorption ~I’ecti-opliotometry as compared with flame photometry had been suggested by \\‘alsli in 1955 and had since been confirmed in general experience.The spread of atomic absorption spectroscopy as an analytical tool was slow during tlie five \-ears after the publication of Walsh’s first paper there being only some twenty papers mainly from Australia in that period. At tlie present time at least twenty papers per annum from all over the world were appearing. The first papers had been concerned primarily with exploring the potential of the method the more recent ones uith its development as a reliable means for the routine analysis of a great variety of clements and materials and in developing means for increasing its sensitivity.Tlie method liad proved to be most useful for those elements whose resonance lines lay in tlie spectral range 2000 to 4000 A. Much attention liad been directed toward studies of (a) the source of rcson;mcc rxliation ( h ) the production of tlie atomic vapour and (c) intcbrferencc effects. Froin a practical point o f view the most important developmcnts olw- tlie last year or two had been in tlie understanding and overcoming of chemical interference. At tlic present time most atomic absorption spectrophotometers were single-channel direct-reading instruments. Future developments were likely to be directed toward the refinement of instrumentation and the development o f more efficient means for tlitx pi-( duc t ic )n ( ) I at (mic vapoiii-s. ‘rM Ctl LMIS l l < Y ( ) I . 1471,.\hl14,S 1 ) ~ .SLJGDI~N dcfiiiecl the central item of an!’ flame pliotonictcr a de\.ice elten- ,si\-cly used in analytical work as being the flame itself. Singularly little thought had been given in the past to the chemistry of the flame although a detailed under- standing of it was fundamental to nearly all flame photometry.

April 19641 REPORTS O F MEETINGS 27 Chemical Microscopy BY N. H. HARTSHORNE DR. HARTSHORNE divided the applications of the niicroscope i o chemical pi-oblems into two main kinds ( a ) those in which the characteristic optical and morphological properties of crystalline compounds were used as a basis for their identification and ( b ) those in n-hich the optical properties of solid materials were used to throw light on their structure or on their molecular or crystallographic orientation. To these applications he added (c) the use of microscopic methods of manipulation and observation to carrj- out ordinary chemical and phj4co-chemical operations on very small amounts of material. These last techniques had been of importance for example in studying the chemistrjr of the transuranic elements.Microscopic methods of identifying compounds were particularly appropriate for dealing with solid mixtures and complex solid materials generally since they offered the possibilit>T of investigating the nature of the separate ingredients in situ and at the same time gaining information about the “texture” of the material i.e. its state or division the habits and polymorphic forms of the crystals present and the manner in \\liich the ingredients \vei-e associated with one another e.g. whether as inclusions surface deposits or separate particles. Of the various microscopical disciplines simple microscop!. and polarisation microscopy had the widest applications in chemistry. The polarising microscope kvas both a microscope and a micro-polariscope and besides being capable of doing anything that a simple micro- scope would do it had a special application to the study of birefringent materials and these included all non-cubic crystals and a wide variety of quasi-crJTstalline materials such as fibres polymers biological tissues and liquid crystals.Rjr means of the polarising com- ponents of the instrument the characteristic optical properties of such birefringent materials could be studied and evaluated in quantitative terms or as a less ambitious application their polarisation effects could be used to bring out object detail in the microscopical image more clearly or to afford an immediate visual differentiation behveen one phase and another. In practice the ease or otherwise of identifying a compound from its optical-crystallo- graphic properties (assuming these to be on record or to have been determined on an autlirntic specimen) depended on a number of factors such as the size habit and de\Telopment of the crystals the crystal system and the form in which the optical data were a\Tailable.For example if only the three prjncipal refractive indices and the optic axial angle \\ere known easy identification would depend on whether the crystals naturallj. oriented themsellyes on a slide so as to present at least three of these four properties for direct measurement. Should this not occur it would be more helpful to know the optical properties for a particularlj. fa\wured orientation or “common view”. The microchemical literature contained numerous papers on the microscopical identi- fication of the members of families of related compounds by the examination of micro-crystals either of the compounds themselves or of suitable derivatives.Many such schemes could be described as precipitation tests in which the precipitates were inspected not mere117 with the unaided eye but in more or less detail under the microscope. In some of these schemes the precipitates were intended to be identified entirely by comparing the habits o f the micro- crystals with those shown in published photomicrographs. Such tests were often adequate 38 HARTSHORNE CHEMICAL MICROSCOPY ~PYOC. SOC. -4na.l. Chem. if the conditions of precipitation were well defined and under control but in general it was much more satisfactory for the scheme to includc thc dcterniination of some at least of thy optical-crystallographic properties o f the crystals in confirmation of tlicir identity.The addition of a hot stage to the polarising microscope greatly extended its scope in chemical microscopy. In the first place it permitted changes of optical properties with temperature to be studied and sometimes these changes were considerable. For example ethylenediamine tartrate had an optic axial angle that was quite large at room temperature but became zero at about 120” C. This change was readily observable conoscopically and was of course a characteristic property of the compound. In many applications of the hot stage however polarised light was used merely to differentiate the phases present more clearly no actual crystallographic determinations being involved. For instance between crossed polars liquid phases appeared dark and solid phases could be distinguished from onc another by the different orders of polarisation colours they displayed.The “Thermomikro- Methoden” developed by L. and A. Kofler in Austria and the “fusion methods” developed by W. C. McCrone in the 1J.S.A. came mainly within this category though in the latter methods considerable attention was paid to optical crystallographic properties as well. In these methods the substance was either (2) heated alone or (ii) heated with another substance. If it was (i) heated alone the melting-point could be determined and this would be a much more sensitive and informative determination than the ordinary macro-determination in a capillary tube. In this way the presence of impurity in amounts down to 1 per cent. or less would immediately become obvious and if more than one polymorphic form was present their individual melting-points might be observed and their inter-transformations studied.Observations could also be made of any characteristic sublimation behaviour the contour of the crystal front against the melt when the preparation \\.as cooled any decomposition of tlie substance including loss of solvent of crystallisation and the formation of liquid-crystal phases should they occur. Observations under (ii) heating with another substance usuallj. involved the making of a “contact preparation,” in which crystalline films of tlie two com- pounds between a slide and cover-slip were in contact with one another along a commoii edge. This contact zone was kept under observation as the preparation was heated and the pheno- mena that occurred along the zone were indicative of the type of phase diagram for the system and permitted the singular temperatures in the diagram to be determined. Thus if the two compounds formed a single congruently melting compound the two eutectic temperatures and the melting-point of the compound could be found. This elegant technique had analy- tical applications in that it permitted the main features o f an equilihrium diagram to be established with the utmost economy of time and material and also in that it afforded determinative data for thc compounds conccrned in addition to their single melting-points. Dr. Hartshorne illustrated the use of the hot stage by means of a colonr film.

April 1964j ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MARCH 1964 29 Annual Report of the Council March ANALYTICAL chemistry has been transformed in recent years by the introduction of new techniques in the development of which not only chemists but also workers in allied sciences- notably physics and biology-have made significant contributions. This is evidenced by the meetings of the Society and of its Groups and Sections during 1963 which have covered a very wide range of topics and techniques and the success of the Programmes Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. L. Brealey in selecting suitable subjects has resulted in meetings being very well attended. Experience gained in the few years since the Programmes Committee was formed has made it clear that meetings dealing with techniques and meetings of the symposium type are particularly popular with members and non-members alike.The Council is anxious that the Society should offer a suitable forum for discussion of the specialised techniques that are increasingly making so large an impact on the development of analytical science and the formation by the Physical Methods Group of the Atomic Ab- sorption Spectroscopy Discussion Panel in 1962 has been followed b ~ i the formation of a Panel dealing with Thin-layer Chromatography during the past year. The formation o f other Discussion Panels is under consideration. The Council feels that the time has now come for the whole question of the present structure of the Society with it5 three main subject Groups and growing number of specialist Panels to be relyiewed and a Subcommittee under the Chairmanship of the immediate Past President n r .J. Amos lias been set up for this purpose. .Is ;t result of the recommendations of The Ana(vst I>e\~clopment (‘ommittee certain changes have been made in The Analyst during the j’ear and in January 1964 the first issue of a new journal Proceedings of 2he Society f o r Anabltical Chemistrj, was published. This journal will contain reports of the activities of Sections and (;roups “ domestic ” news of interest to members obituaries and lists of publications received together with papers read at meetings of the Society that would not properly find a place in The Analmt. It is belieLw1 that this will enhance the status of The Analjfst as a learned journal by making it primarilj- ;i vehicle for reports of original work.A4nother innovation during the year has been the decision to institute a gold Medal of the Society for Analytical Chemistry which would be available for award annuall!. to :I pei-son working in anv branch of science who has made theoretical or practical contributions of out- standing merit in the field o€ analytical chemistry. ,4 panel of three referee\ under the Chairmanship of the President of the Soriety will be nppointcd annuall!. l)j* Council to (’on- sider a Medallist for the current year. ’The Conference of Honorary Secretaries was this year held in December and Mr. C . A. Jolinson was Chairman for the morning session. The earlier date has lwcn found :idvantage- ous facilitating closer liaison between Groups and Sections and enabling them to avoid over- lapping of dates and topics for meetings.The President Dr. I). (’. (ixrratt \\.a\ in the Chair for the afternoon session when matters of policy were discussed. The Analytical Methods Committee has again been active and in addition to reports in The AnalJfst has published its book of Official Standardised and Recommended Methods of Analysis ” during the year. The Secretary of the Committee Dr. C. H. Tinker resigned during the year and her place has been taken by Mr. l’. 117. Shallih \vho \\’a\ formerlj. Assi5tmt Editor of The Analyst. The Council attaches great importance to the Society’s re~ponsibilit>~ for the publication of Analytical Abstracts. This journal is under the editorship of Rlrs. Fisk advised by the Abstracts Committee. The number of abstracts published annually has greatly increased over the last decade and this increase is likely to continue.In order to maintain the high quality of the journal which has attained considerable status both nationally and inter- nationally additional staff is being provided and the question of increased accommodation is under consideration. The Society and the Chemical Society the Society of Chemical IndustrJ- the Royal Institute of Chemistry the Faraday Society and the Biochemical Society were joint hosts to 30 ~Proc. SOC. Anal. Chem. the Council and Bureau of the International Cnion of Pure and Applied Chemistry which met in London in July at a luncheon organised by the British National Committee for Chemistry. The Ramsay Dinner held annually in Glasgow was this year attended by the President Dr. D. C. Garratt. The Society’s Biennial Dinner at Grocers’ Hall London was again a most successful event attended by 155 people.It is with regret that the resignation of Dr. R. E. Stuckey who has been Honorary Secretary of the Society for the past six years must be recorded. He continues however to serve the Society in the capacity of a Vice-president. \Ve have also lost the services of Mr. C. A. Johnson as Honorary Secretary of the Programmes Committee ; his place will be taken by Mr. B. S. Cooper. The Council records with pleasure the award of a baronetcy to Professor Sir E. Charles Dodds M.V.O. F.R.S. The Society now has 2177 members an increase of 80 over the membership of a year ago. LONG niEMBERSHIP-The congratulations and good wishes of the Council are extended to Mr. P. W. Alloway Mr. P. F. Spendlove Rlr.C. P. Thorpe and Mr. I,. H.

The various Sub-committees and Panels made steady progress with their programmes of work during the year although the number of meetings held (51) was smaller than in the previous year (73). The year was notable for the publication in March of “Official Standardised and Kecommerided Methods of Analysis,” which includes edited versions of all the Committee’s recommended methods published since 1926 and a revised and expanded version oE tlie “Ribliography of Standard Methods of Analysis” published in 1951.In April the Report of the Trace Elements in Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Sub-committee was published as a separate booklet it being envisaged that the methods recommended would find wider application than that for which they were originally intended.

The new Sub-Committee-Fish Products-will complement the work of the Meat Products Sub- committee and the Joint Committee has been re-formed to review the methods published in 1956 under the title I ‘ Recommended Methods for the Analysis of Trade Effluents ” to ascertain which of them is in need of revision.

HONOKAHY I KEASUREK’S KEPoK-r-Tlie year 1963 continued to be a pci-iod of general progress and stability in the financial affairs of the Society despite the inc-\ritable increases in those expenditures associated with payments to allied Societies administration publication costs etc. The cautious programme relating to investments Lvhich the Finance Committee pursued in tlie previous year has given way because of improl-ing stock-market conditions to ii policy of more active deployment of the Society’s funds.On the advice of our brokers Messrs. C. F. Chance & Co. we have increased the financial holdings of the Society bj‘ further investments in recommended shares and unit trusts during the current financial year sound rcwrves being an essential pre-requisite to the general expansion of thc. Society’s ac-ti\itie\ that is planned for future years. The annual audit which has just been completed by our ;Lccouiitants 1L1cssi-s. ICidlej~ Heslop and Sainer presents a satisfactory economic picture of the Society’s progress but simultaneously emphasises the need for caution in certain fields of activit!.. Both l h c Analyst and Analytical Abstracts are in a monetary sense only marginally self-supporting and further increases in publication costs may well be anticipated because of the steady and suc- cessful growth of these publications.The Finance Committee has agreed that in order to cope with increasing commitments the staff of A d y t i c a l Abstracts shall be increased by three junior grades. The Committee appreciates that this expansion must be covered by increasing proportionately the cost of Analytical ,4 Bstracts although this price increase will not become effectilre until 1965. I t is hoped however to retain the composite subscription of full mem- ber\ of the Society at its current level despite this change. The Society has requested it5 solicitors Messrs. L41sop SteLTeiis 3;. Heck to applj. under tlic (‘liarities Act 1960 for reregistration of the parent Society and of its subsidiary charitable organisation the Analytical Methods Trust. During the year the Council of the Society approved the re-decoration and renovation o f the administrative offices at 14 Belgrave Square and this very essential work has now been completed.Increases by authorised recruitment to the permanent staff of the Society make the problem of accommodation increasingly acute at Belgrave Square. The acquisition of further costly buildings by the Society is financially impracticablc and the Finance Committee Action on these matters is continuing. 38 [Proc. SOC. ,4naZ. Chew. can only consider some form of domestic reorganisation of the Societv’s editorial and secre- tarial groups. This matter is receiving active consideration and the President has arranged for a detailed survey of available accommodation to be made so that recommendations may be presented to Council at an early date.A satisfactory financial arrangement has been agreed with Messrs. W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. relating to the publication of the Proceedings of the S14C Conference which will be held at the University oi Nottingham in 1965. Members attending this Conference who have paid the agreed fees will receive this publication free of further charge. The Council of the Society have approved the funds necessary for the production by the Royal Mint of the Society’s Gold Medal. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MARCH 1964 PROGRAMMES COMMITTEE-The past year has been one both of sound achievement and of enterprising planning for the future. The programme of meetings listed elsewhere was exceptionally well attended; at three of these meetings devoted to such diverse subjects as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Thin-layer Chromatography and the Analysis of Gases the attendance was between 250 and 300 on each occasion.This would be a significant achieve- ment for any scientific society in these days when there are so manv competing attractions. ,4 change in policy has been the abandonment of meetings devoted to the presentation of papers accepted for publication in The Analyst. Such meetings were rarely well attended and they have been replaced by meetings for the presentation of work by post-graduate workers in Universities and Colleges. The first of these was held in April 1963 and it is intended to continue with the experiment in future sessions. Planning for the future has been devoted to two major projects the SAC Conference 1965 to be held at Nottingham University between July 19th and 23rd 1965 and a major symposium on Particle-size Determination probably in Spring 1966.Initial planning for the latter meeting is about to commence but plans for the Conference are already far advanced. In response to a suggestion by Council a sub-committee of the Programmes Committee (Dr. A. J. Amos (Chairman) Dr. D. W. Anderson Mr. E. Bishop Mr. R. C. Chirnside Mr. F. C. J. Poulton with Mr. C. A. Johnson as Honorary Secretary) was set up late in 1961 to consider the overall policy and the venue of the Conference. Acting on the recommendations of this sub- committee Council appointed an Executive Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. D. C. Garratt to decide the policy for the conference and to correlate the work of the various com- mittees to be responsible for the detailed planning namely the Programmes Committee The Analyst Editorial Committee and the Nottingham Local Committee.Detailed plans for the scientific programme are now under consideration. I t must be noted with regret that Mr. R. C. Chirnside has now relinquished the Programmes Committee chairmanship but we are fortunate in that he has been succeeded by Dr. L. Brealey who as a former Honorary Secretary to the Committee is greatly experienced in its work. Mr. C. A. Johnson retires as Honorary Secretary at the end of the present session and is to be succeeded by Mr. B. S. Cooper who is giving up his chairmanship of the Abstracts Committee to carry out this important work. PUBLICATIONS POLICY COMMITTEE-This Committee was formed during the year to con- sider all matters of policy relating to existing or prospective publications of the Society.I t has given detailed consideration to the proposals of The Analyst Development Committee referred to it by Council and as a result of its recommendations certain changes have been made in The Analyst as described elsewhere in this report. It is also giving special attention to the problems associated with the production of ,4nalj~tical Abstracts which were the subject of a report received from the Editor of that journal and the Chairman of the Abstracts Com- mittee. THE ANALYST-AS recorded earlier in this Report some sections of The Analyst have now been transferred to the new Proceedings of the Society for Analjhcal Chemistry which is being distributed with all copies of The Analyst a t no extra charge.Other developments recorded in editorials published at the time include changes intended to bring out more fully the breadth of interests covered by the journal introduction of a more comprehensive refereeing April 19641 -4NNUAL REPORT OF THE COUh'CIL MARCH 1964 39 system publication of Communications and also of summaries in a form suitable for use i n card indexes and alteration of the cover to emphasise the name of the Society. There were 154 original papers (160 in 1962) 7 Review Papers (5) and 7 Scientific Reports prepared by various Committees (4) the grand total being one less than in 1062. There were 60 book reviews and 20 summaries of papers presented at meetings but not being published in full. The audited circulation (regular subscriptions) for 1963 was 691 2 compared with 6700 for 1962; to allow for casual sales 7300 copies of each issue were printed which number has been increased to 7500 for the current year (1964).Twelve issues of the Bulletin were distributed with T h e 14nalyst during the year. Its publication ceased with the December issue No. 125 and the items it formerly contained now appear as part of the Proceedings. During the year Mr. S. U. I,. Keating R.Sc.Tech.(Manc.) joined the staff as Assistant Editor in place of Mr. Shallis whose appointment as Secretary of the Analytical Methods Committee is recorded elsewhere in this Report. 3lr. P. G. Hill replaced Miss E. K. Prince as editorial assistant when the latter resigned on marriage. ANALYTICAL ABSTRACTS-The number of abstracts published in 1963 was 5503 (on 720 pages) compared with 6564 (on 716 pages) in 1962 making a total for the first 10 years of publication of 46,197 abstracts.The rate at which abstracts are now being received is greater than the rate of publication and consequently the time delay between an original paper and its abstract is now greater than it was a year ago. The problem of how to reduce this delay to a minimum and how to deal lvith the ever- increasing number of scientific publications produced throughout the world without lowering standards or making a less comprehensive coverage of the literature has been considered by the Society and as a result of a report by the Editor and the Chairman of the Abstracts Committee it was decided that extra staff must be engaged. Sales have continued to rise the audited figure for the monthlv circulation for 1963 being 7539 copies compared with 7292 copies for 1962.In addition 150 copies were supplied each month to a large industrial group in the U.S.A. There has been an extension of advertising in the U.S.A. on an exchange basis; several advertisements for Analytical Abstracts have appeared in American journals during 1963 with equivalent American advertisements in T h e Analyst. Good progress is being made by Dr. N. Evers on the preparation of the Subject section of the Decennial Index; the final compilation will not however be possible until the 1963 Annual Index is finished in April 1964. The 1963 volume contained 984 pages (the same number as in the previous year). D. C. GARRATT President. S. A. PRICE Honoraqp Secretayy.

Commission on Micvocheiizical Tech.niqim International Investigation into Errors in Elementary Organic Micro-analysis* THE observations findings and effects governing the micro-analytical errors encountered hy every micro-analyst in the course of his daily work only add to his own knowledge or that of his close colleagues. h order to spread this knowledge beyond the limits of the individual laboratory the Commission on Microchemical Techniques has set up a Study Group on Errors in Elementary Organic Micro-analysis which is intended to centralise classify and publisli these findings in a generally usable form for the benefit of all. The Study Group on Errors in Elementary Organic Micro-analysis invites micro-analysts o f all countries either personally or as representatives of their laboratories to collaborate in this collective international task by communicating in the form of n report the results of their experiences.For practical reasons each report should conform to the basic requirements that- (a) it must be drafted in either German English French or Russian ; (b) it must be divided into as many separate parts as there are errors iinder csamina- tion; and (c) each part must be arranged according to the following outline. * The present investigation docs not incliide trace analysis. 42 NOTICES [Proc.
