Description:
No description available.
Progress:
- During the autumn of 1998 we distributed a request for comment onfuture nomenclature requirements to suitable internet discussiongroups, nomenclature committees, journal editors and ChemWeb members,and also published the request as a letter in chemistry news journals.This document entitled "IUPAC seeks advice on organic nomenclaturedevelopment" has been posted on the Union website at http://www.iupac.org/divisions/III/news1.html
- During the period October 1998 to January 1999, 139 replies were received, from respondents in 39 different countries.
- The results of the survey were compiled into a report which let the working party to formulate some recommendations. The report was part of the round table discussion on "Representations of Molecular Structure: Nomenclature and its Alternatives" organized in Washington, DC on March 10-11, 2000.
