Our coverage of the contents of American Chemical Society meetings has up to now been scanty. ! shall try to remedy this in the future. In the meantime, it of the may be of interest to note some to topics to be covered at the meeting be held in Uew York Cltp from 13th-18th April 1986 (see Chem. and Eng. News June 17 (1985)). Topics covered by the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, all with the heading "Surface Science and Catalysis" include: characterisation radiaof catalysts using synchrotron tion; catalvtic activation of CO by electrochemical, photochemical and satalytic means; and chemistry and physics of clusters (jointl\ with Divisions of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry). There is also a session entitled "General Papers in Catalysis and Related Topics". The Division of Petroleum Chemistry has the following topics: "Mechanisms of Fischer-Tropsch Chemistry"; "Chemicals from Syngas and Methanol"; and "Fundamental Chemistry of Promoters and Poisons in Heterogeneous Catalysis". The Autumn Meeting in Anaheim also includes sessions of interest. From the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, we get: "Surface Science of Catalysts: Surface Chemistry of Semiconductor Fabrication"; "Surface Science of Catalysis: Applications of SolidState NMR to Catalysis"; and "General Papers in Catalysis and Related Subjects". And from the Division of Petroleum Chemistry, we get: "Spinels and Perovskites as Catalvsts"; and "Syngas Conversion Catalysts". Forewarning is also given of the following Spring and Autumn Meetings, to be held in Denver from 5th to 10th April 1987 and in New Orleans from 30th August to 4th September 1987, respectively.

Society

Meetings

It is announced in the Catalysis Society Newsletter that the next meeting of Organic Reactions Catalysis Society will be held in Hyatt House, Savannah, Georgia, from 7th to 9th April 1986. The meeting will be devoted to homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as applied to organic synthesis. Contact Dr. Paul Rylander (tel. 201-632-6301) for further details,
