Abstract
IUPAC is a global, scientific organization that contributes to the worldwide understanding of chemistry and the chemical sciences. It is certainly true that young chemists are shaping our science, and it is important for IUPAC to provide encouragement to our young colleagues. IUPAC accomplishes this goal through the IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists. This prestigious annual prize honors four to five chemists for important and outstanding research carried out during recent Ph.D. studies. The work is mainly judged on the basis of a 1000-word essay which is supported by recommendations from the senior scientist(s) with whom the candidate collaborated.
As immediate Past President of IUPAC, I have had the pleasure of chairing an international prize selection committee of eminent chemists with a wide range of expertise in chemistry that adjudicated essays from 36 applicants from 19 countries. Reading these outstanding essays provided a wonderful overview of new trends in chemistry. Due to the large number of excellent candidates, it was not an easy task to pick the winners, but in the end the committee arrived at a unanimous decision and awarded the 2009 IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists to the following five chemists:
- Faisal A. Aldaye, McGill University, Montréal, Canada; "Supramolecular DNA nanotechnology: Discrete nanoparticle organization, three dimensional DNA construction, and molecule-mediated DNA self-assembly"
- Christopher Bettinger, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA; "Synthesis and microfabrication of elastomeric biomaterials for advanced tissue engineering scaffolds"
- Xinliang Feng, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany: "C3-symmetric discotic liquid-crystalline materials for molecular electronics: Versatile synthesis and self-organization"
- Xing Yi Ling, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands: "From supramolecular chemistry to nanotechnology: Assembly of 3D nanostructures"
- Shengqian Ma, Miami University, Oxford, OH, USA; "Gas adsorption applications of porous metal–organic frameworks"
Each winner received a cash prize of USD 1000 and a trip to the 42nd IUPAC World Chemistry Congress, which took place in Glascow, Scotland, 2-7 August, 2009. Here the winners had the opportunity to present their work, which is an important stage of any research project. The prize winners also were invited to submit manuscripts on aspects of their research for publication in Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC). It is a pleasure to see that all five prize winners have taken advantage of this offer. The result is five refereed papers which contain critical reviews of high quality and appear in PAC.
Finally, it is an honor and a pleasure to congratulate each of the winners (and their supervisors) for winning the 2009 IUPAC Prize. It is IUPAC's hope that each of them has been encouraged to continue to do exciting research that will contribute to a bright future for the molecular-based sciences, which are so important for our common future.

The IUPAC-sponsored 13th International Biotechnology Symposium (IBS) and Exhibition was held successfully from 12 to 17 October 2008 in Dalian, China, with about 2500 participants, including 50 % international delegates from about 80 countries. More details of the conference are available in Chemistry International31 (3), 28-29 (2009).The theme of the conference was "Biotechnology for the sustainability of human society", through which all key biotechnology topics closely related to the better living of human beings were discussed. Examples included biopharmaceuticals and advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, green biotechnology for the improvement of agricultural production yield and efficiency, industrial biotechnology for the production of biofuels and bio-based chemicals from renewable biomass resources as alternatives to fossil-based feedstocks, bioremediation of pollutants and contaminants to save the continuously deteriorating eco-environment, and biosafety and biosecurity associated with the progress of advanced biotechnology.With the sponsorships of international and domestic academic publishers, several special issues have been published for the conference, reporting or reviewing the frontiers of modern biotechnology with specific focus. It has been recognized that chemistry is the fundamental discipline to drive the progress of biotechnology R&D since its inception. This importance was highlighted by over half a century history of the IBS series dating back to as early as 1960 when the first IBS was initiated under the auspices of IUPAC in Rome, Italy, and continuously increased numbers of participants trained with chemistry backgrounds, which gives us, as the conference organizers, the pleasure of publishing this special issue in Pure and Applied Chemistry with a theme: "Building the bridge between chemistry and biotechnology".Invitations were issued to 42 Symposium presenters whose contributions were deemed to be directly relevant to the chosen theme, and resulted in this collection comprising 29 papers devoted to aspects of research progress in the interdisciplinary area of chemistry and biotechnology. Although the publication comes later than expected, we believe that its objective to highlight the critical role of chemistry in the development of biotechnology is never out of date. As the guest editors of this special issue, we are very pleased to share this publication with colleagues around the world, and we are also grateful to IUPAC, the authors, and the referees for all of their contributions toward this record of an important interdisciplinary feature of the IBS program.F.

The 13th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-13) was held in Luxembourg City, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, the smallest country so far hosting a conference of the ISNA series. It took place 19-24 July 2009 and was attended by 360 participants, mostly from academic institutions, representing 34 countries. The scientific program consisted of the Opening Plenary Lecture given by Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn (Institute of Science and Supramolecular Engineering and Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg), the 2009 Nozoe Lecture presented by Prof. Atsuhiro Osuka (Kyoto University, Kyoto), 34 invited lectures, 26 oral communications, and 194 posters presented in two sessions. In a public lecture, vice rector Prof. Luciënne Blessing presented the activities of the recently founded University of Luxembourg. The organizing committee made a strong and successful effort to attract numerous graduate and undergraduate students to ISNA-13.The ISNA symposium series was launched by Prof. Tetsuo Nozoe in 1970 as the International Symposium on Nonbenzenoid Aromatic Compounds. Since then, the currently biennial conference rotates between Asia, North America, and Europe. As indicated by its present name, the focus of the symposium has broadened and is now set on new experimental and theoretical insights into the concept of aromaticity, synthesis and properties of novel aromatic compounds, as well as applications of π-conjugated systems in different fields of molecular science and technology. From a broader perspective, through interactions between participating scientists, ISNA conferences aim at the generation of new knowledge and its eventual application for the betterment of society.In line with the above, the organizers of ISNA-13 emphasized not only the traditional and fundamental aspects of novel aromatic compounds, such as their theory, synthesis, structure, and properties, but also their application in materials science. This included, for example, macrocycles, oligomers, and polymers and their optoelectronic properties, supramolecular chemistry based on aromatic functional modules, aromatics on surfaces, and molecular electronics based on aromatic units. The main subjects of the meeting that are covered in this Special Topic issue are as follows:- aromaticity and novel aromatic systems - theory- aromaticity and novel aromatic systems - experimental- fullerenes and concave aromatics- aromatic polymers and oligomers and their optoelectronic properties- supramolecular aromatic devices, switches, and machines- aromatics on surfaces, including graphene- optoelectronicsThe next conference, ISNA-14, will be chaired by Profs. Michael M. Haley (University of Oregon, Eugene) and Benjamin T. King (University of Nevada, Reno) and will be held in Eugene, OR, USA, 24-29 July 2011. ISNA-15 will be organized by Prof. Ken-Tsung Wong (National Taiwan University) in Taipei, Taiwan.François DiederichA. Dieter SchlüterCarlo ThilgenConference Editors

The 19th International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry (ISPC-19) was held at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, from 26 to 31 July 2009 under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Plasma Chemistry Society (IPCS), and under the patronage of the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. Bochum also served as the host venue for ISPC-10 in 1991, and this return occasion of ISPC-19 was co-sponsored by the German Science Foundation, the Ruhr-University Bochum, and the town of Bochum.ISPC is a bi-annual international conference with topics encompassing the complete areas of plasma chemistry and plasma processing science. Almost 650 participants from over 40 countries presented 682 papers. Six plenary speakers and 22 topical invited speakers covered a broad range of topics. These keynote lectures were complemented by 105 oral contributions and about 530 poster presentations in 16 categorized scientific topics. The large number of papers reflects that the current field of plasma chemistry is lively and evolving, and crosses the borders between many disciplines ranging from natural to engineering sciences.This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry contains 13 papers based on plenary lectures and topical invited talks presented at ISPC-19. This compilation illustrates very well that the traditional distinction between low-pressure and thermal high-pressure plasmas almost disappears; the current research topics on microplasmas and microplasma jets exhibit many similarities if compared to research on conventional arcs used for thermal spraying. We sincerely hope that this issue provides readers an overview of current and future scientific developments.Achim von KeudellConference ChairJörg WinterConference Co-Chair

The 31st International Conference on Solution Chemistry (ICSC-31) was held 21-25 August 2009 in Innsbruck, Austria. This conference series covers a wide range of topics related to solution chemistry, such as spectroscopy, thermodynamics, and kinetics to name just a few, addressing experimentalists and theoreticians alike.Seventeen outstanding plenary and invited lectures were given by renowned scientists. The topics of the plenaries were solution NMR stuctures of proteins (J. Wüthrich), porous coordination polymers (S. Kitagawa), ab initio-based water potentials for simulation studies (S. Xantheas), and the hydration structures of metal ions in solution (I. Persson). Additionally, 33 oral contributions were presented and two poster sessions were held. A total of 29 countries were represented in this conference. The best poster award was given to Matjaz Boncina for his poster entitled "Thermodynamics of the ion–lysozyme association". Pierre Turq presented details of the next ICSC meeting to be held in 2011 in La Grande Motte, France.Eight papers based on lectures presented at the ICSC-31 are included in this issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The manuscripts cover investigations using different spectroscopic approaches, molecular simulation studies as well as thermodynamic measurements. The systems treated range from pure water and aqueous solution to ionic liquids and solutions containing polyelectrolytes. These contributions feature the major themes of the conference, serve as a representative view of current activities in the field of solution chemistry, and demonstrate that solutions still prove to be challenging targets for contemporary physical and chemical research alike.Thomas HoferBernhard RandolfConference Editors

The electrochemical community in the southeastern part of Europe has been renowned worldwide for more than 50 years. The contributions to electrochemical science, involving publications, scientific meetings, or, generally speaking, electrochemical research, development, education, and applications are recognized to a wider extent than expected, bearing in mind this relatively small geographic area. The tradition connected with 16 biannual Yugoslav Symposia on Electrochemistry, followed by a few Croatian Electrochemical Symposia and Electrochemical Symposia of Serbia and Montenegro merged into a Regional Symposium. Actually, the mutual idea was born in Belgrade, Serbia and Zagreb, Croatia. Going toward the European Union, nine chemical societies from southeast European organized the 2nd Symposium (the Serbian Chemical Society was the local organizer), held in Belgrade, Serbia, 6-10 June 2010 http://www.rse-see.net. The 1st Symposium, with the Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers as the local organizer, was held in Rovinj, Croatia in 2008.The 2nd Symposium was attended by more than 200 participants, including young scientists (such as university students participating in the Satellite Student Symposium with 19 contributions) from more than 30 countries. Eminent invited plenary and keynote speakers delivered 9 and 18 lectures, respectively, and 46 oral and 118 poster presentations were contributed, promoting thereby contemporary electrochemical knowledge even outside the region. Topics such as fundamental aspects of electrochemistry, energy conversion, materials, corrosion, environmental electrochemistry, and bio-electrochemistry, among others, lead to the conclusion that this was a very successful meeting.The selected papers published herein give a representative view of the Symposium, considering electrochemical thermodynamics, the fundamentals of electrochemical kinetics, the structure of electrode materials, and some basic electrochemical reactions and applications of electrochemical and materials science principles as biomedical implants, in analytical chemistry and corrosion.The 3rd Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry of Southeast Europe is scheduled for 2012. The local organizer is the Romanian Chemical Society, and the venue will be Bucharest, Romania.Branislav NikolićConference Editor

The first Special Topic issue devoted to green chemistry was published in Pure and Applied Chemistry in July 2000 [Pure Appl. Chem.72, 1207-1403 (2000)]. Since then, three collections of works have been published, arising from the recently launched IUPAC series of International Conferences on Green Chemistry:- 1st International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC-1), Dresden, Germany, 10-15 September 2006: Pure Appl. Chem.79, 1833-2100 (2007)- 2nd International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC-2), Moscow, Russia, 14-20 September 2008: Pure Appl. Chem.81, 1961-2129 (2009)- 3rd International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC-3), Ottawa, Canada, 15-18 August 2010: Pure Appl. Chem.83, 1343-1406 (2011)This Special Topic issue forms part of the series on green chemistry, and is an outcome of IUPAC Project No. 2008-016-1-300: “Chlorine-free Synthesis for Green Chemistry” previously announced in Chemistry International, May-June, p. 22 (2011).The IUPAC Subcommittee on Green Chemistry was founded in July 2001 and has selected the following definition for green chemistry [1]: “The invention, design and application of chemical products and processes to reduce or to eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances” [2].Much controversy persists about the appropriate terminology to describe this new field of research. Which term should be selected, “green chemistry” or “sustainable chemistry”? Perhaps consensus can be achieved if different purposes and interests of chemists are reconciled. If we are involved in fundamental research devoted to the discovery of new reaction pathways and reagents, “green” is the best word because it defines these intents, thus the term “green chemistry” would be the best name for this field of research. If we are interested in exploitation of a process or a product that must be profitable, then such chemical manufacture must be sustainable by many criteria (price, competition, profit, environment, etc.), and, accordingly, “sustainable chemistry” is the term that best defines this objective.This Special Topic issue has been designed with the intent to explore the restriction, or preferably prevention, of the use of halogenated compounds, whenever feasible, through the assembly and reporting of already identified information. This intent has been pursued through innovative synthetic pathways using clearly identified production drivers (e.g., energy consumption, environmental impact, economical feasibility, etc.). In past decades, scientific knowledge and feasible technologies were unavailable, but we now have enough expertise to pursue discontinuation of hazardous and toxic reagents. In fact, the replacement of reagents that are toxic, dangerous, and produced by eco-unfriendly processes is still an underdeveloped area of chemistry today.Pietro TundoProject Co-chair1.
