About this journal

Chemistry International (CI) is the newsmagazine of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). News about IUPAC, its chemists, publications, recommendations, conferences and the work of its Divisions and Committees along with special feature articles is published quarterly in CI.

From 2022 onwards, CI is an online only publication and is freely accessible to all readers. The print edition has been discontinued.

In recognition of IUPAC’s Centenary in 2019, a new initiative, the Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry, was launched. The purpose of the initiative is to showcase the value of Chemistry and chemists and to inform the general public on how the chemical sciences contribute to the well-being of society and the sustainability of planet Earth. An article about The Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry is published annually in CI. For further information go to: https://iupac.org/what-we-do/top-ten/

Abstract

In November 2020, during the early phase of the COVID pandemic, Prof. Nili Cohen, then President of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, invited me to a personal meeting in Jerusalem. She wanted to discuss my involvement with IUPAC as a long-time member of the IUPAC Bureau. Prof. Cohen mentioned that in the long history of IUPAC, the Union had only one President from Israel. Prof. Joshua Jortner, who served as the Israel Academy President from 1986-1995, was later elected the 28th IUPAC President (1998-1999).

Abstract

Global Conversation on Sustainability (GCS) 2023 was enthusiastically welcomed by researchers of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). Highly committed to international organizations such as IUPAC and ISC, the promoters participated to the 2023 edition of the Global Conversation on Sustainability hosting a local in person event held in one of the major CNR institute for chemistry research. The format was a round-table discussion involving colleagues of different age, gender, experience, and area of expertise, who participated to an informal dialogue with the aim of reflecting and sharing aspects of the respective research activities contributing to Sustainable Development Goals. From many chemistry research areas, it emerged a wide-ranging of subjects, which stimulated an interesting and purpose-oriented discussion. Therefore, GCS 2023 at CNR prompted a reflection on how improving chemists’ impact on sustainability including laboratories’ practises and on considering communication becoming part of scientific process.

Standard atomic weights of three technology critical elements revised

Page range: 20-20

Abstract

The IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights (IUPAC CIAAW) regularly reviews literature data, leading to the identification of advancements in measurement science which leads to formal revisions of the recommended atomic weights of the elements (known as the standard atomic weight). This occurs rather infrequently, each element being affected, on average, once every two decades.

Abstract

Chemistry and its adjacent subject areas are undergoing a revolution when it comes to data management, and topics such as sustainability, energy, food security, and health. As the global organisation that provides a common language for chemistry, advocates the free exchange of scientific information, and fosters sustainable development, IUPAC must plan its scientific strategy to foresee the next areas in chemistry that will need clear guidelines on standardisation and evaluated chemical data. Since January 2024, IUPAC is governed by its Officers and the Executive Board, under the oversight of the Council, while IUPAC scientific activities are overseen and managed by the Science Board.
