When in June 2000, I dispatched the first IUPAC e-news, I had little idea how this initiative would be received. Today, 28 issues later, the e-news continues to supplement the IUPAC website, offering direct links to what is new 'out there' on iupac.org. If you find this message informative, please do share it with your colleagues and suggest that they join by visiting <http://www.iupac.org/news/e-news.html>.
Subscription to the IUPAC e-news is open to anyone.

If 'out there', on the IUPAC Web site, you see a page that needs corrections or revisions, please let's me know!
We welcome yours suggestions, comments, questions, etc.

* John F. Hartwig is to be awarded the Thieme-IUPAC Prize 2004
John F. Hartwig is the recipient of the 2004 Thieme-IUPAC Prize in recognition of his outstanding achievements in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. His research focuses on the discovery, development, and understanding of new reactions catalyzed by transition metals and have had a direct and relevant impact on synthetic chemists worldwide.

* IUPAC Solubility Data on the Internet
The IUPAC-NIST Solubility Database v1.0 is now available - access from <http://www.iupac.org/divisions/V/502/index.html> or directly at <http://srdata.nist.gov/solubility>

* IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists - 2005 Solicitation
The IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists has been established to encourage outstanding young research scientists at the beginning of their careers. The prize will be given for the most outstanding Ph.D. thesis in the general area of the chemical sciences, as described in a 1000-word essay.
Deadline: February 1, 2005 - for entrants that receive their Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree during the calendar year 2004.

* Novel Approaches to the Structure and Dynamics of Liquids
The joint European Molecular Liquids Group (EMLG) and Japanese Molecular Liquids Group (JMLG) meeting entitled Novel Approaches to the Structure and Dynamics of Liquids: Experiments, Theories and Simulations, took place under IUPAC sponsorship in Rhodes, Greece from 7-15 September 2002. As stated in the title of the meeting, the organizers attempted to offer an equally extensive coverage of three basic aspects: experiments, theoretical investigations, and computer simulations (classical and quantum). Prominent researchers and international scientific leaders in the field of liquid-state research from various disciplines such as physical chemistry, chemical physics, physics, biophysics, and computational chemistry, delivered lectures. A selection of contributions appears in the IUPAC journal.

* Macromolecule-Metal Complexes
The issue of Macromolecular Symposia contains plenary and invited lectures delivered at the 10th IUPAC International Symposium on Macromolecule-Metal Complexes (MMC-10), which took place from 18–23 May 2003 in a boat traveling from Moscow along the Volga river. This symposium provides an international forum for presentation and discussion about the most recent progress and future trends in the rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field of macromolecular metal complexes. The symposium was focused on the role of metal ions, complexes, and clusters in macromolecular systems.
