The Conversazione on Saturday 23 July, honoured by the presence of H.R.H. The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was the principal occasion during the Celebrations when the Society was able to entertain its guests within Burlington House. This was made possible by the generous co-operation of the neighbouring Societies in Burlington House, and the willingness of the Presidents and Councils of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Astronomical Society, the Chemical Society, the Geological Society and the Linnean Society not only to open their rooms but also to arrange appropriate exhibits for the occasion. Some 2000 persons attended and in addition to the scientific exhibits they were able to view the Academy’s i960 Summer Exhibition of oil paintings, water colours, pastels, tempera and miniatures; drawings, engravings, etchings; sculpture; architectural drawings and models in the main galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts. Two colour films, each relating to expeditions directly sponsored by the Society, were on view during the evening, Halley Bay, prepared by members of the Society’s I.G.Y. Antarctic Expedition, was shown in the Meeting Room of the Society of Antiquaries and South from Chiloe , which described the Society’s expedition to Southern Chile to study biological and geological problems among the islands of Western Patagonia, was shown in the Meeting Room of the Geological Society. In the Royal Society’s own rooms there were displayed some three hundred congratulatory addresses as well as the several gifts received by the Society from Academies, Universities and Learned Institutions from all over the world on the occasion of the Tercentenary Celebrations (see pp. 103-113). These were arranged around the walls and on tables in the Library making a very impressive display. The Society’s own Treasures, the Mace, the Charter Book, the manuscript of the Principia and Newton’s telescope were also on view and in addition there was a small exhibit of books and pamphlets illustrating attacks made on the Society during its history. This was arranged by Professor E. N. da C. Andrade who also lent the material for it.

In November 1868, the Ministry of Enlightenment of Russia approved the Charter of the Russian Chemical Society (RCS), one of the Founding Members of which had been Dmitri Mendeleev. The first report on Mendeleev Periodic Table of Chemical Elements was delivered during a meeting of the RCS in March 1869. Therefore 1869 is considered by the world science as the year of discovery of the Periodic Law and formulation of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements. Year 2019 is the 150th anniversary since Dmitry Mendeleev discovered the Periodic System, and the United Nations proclaimed this year to be the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019). After a series of transformations, in 1992 the RCS became the Mendeleev Russian Chemical Society. In 2019, the RCS is holding anniversary events. The extraordinary Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry is one of them. It will be held in Saint Petersburg in September 2019 and will host approximately 3,000 foreign and Russian participants. English-speaking symposia, conferences and round tables on current issues of strategic development of science and technology are planned as a part of the Congress.

Color Additive

Soft drinks and orange juices are very popular all over the world including Bangladesh. Yellow 6 (Disodium 6-hydroxy-5-(4-sulfophenyl) azo-2-naphthalenesulfonate) was used in food and drinks as color additives earlier but due to its adverse effects on human health, yellow 6 has been banned in many countries. However, this harmful color additive yellow 6 is being used in commercial orange drinks in Bangladesh. Ten commercial brand yellow colored soft drinks and juices were analyzed to find out the presence of yellow 6. Juice prepared from fresh fruits was used as control. The UV-visible absorption maxima of yellow 6 is 429 nm. The amount of yellow 6 in commercial brands and fresh orange juices was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometer. Out of ten samples, seven juice samples were found to contain yellow 6 in the range of 0.83-1.66 mg/mL.   Fresh juice did not show any absorption at 429 nm. This is an easy and cost effective   method to assess the presence of yellow 6 in orange juice and the method can be used for other food stuffs.

The 41st IUPAC World Chemistry Congress took place in Turin, Italy on 5-11 August 2007, under the patronage of the President of the Italian Republic. Local organization was carried out through active collaboration between the National Research Council (CNR), the Italian Chemical Society (SCI), the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM), the University of Turin (UNITO), the Turin Polytechnic (POLITO), and the University of Eastern Piedmont (UNIPMN).The Lingotto Conference Center in Turin served as the Congress venue. This recently modernized complex formerly housed what was once the largest motor car factory in the world, and is a fitting tribute to an industry that has played a major role in shaping the present-day city as an important industrial and cultural center. The Congress was well attended by more than 2000 delegates from all parts of the world, and they were rewarded with multidisciplinary insights and perspectives that catered for all aspects of the subject. At the same time, it was possible to enjoy the abundant hospitality of the local hosts and, when opportunity permitted, to explore some of the distinctive cultural, historical, and scenic features of Turin and its surroundings.The Congress theme of ‚ÄúChemistry Protecting Health, Natural Environment and Cultural Heritage‚Äù served to highlight topical and challenging issues, and presented a program that celebrated the societal relevance of the chemical sciences in modern times. The tone for the scientific proceedings was set by an outstanding program of plenary presentations that included three Nobel laureates, Profs. R. Hoffmann (Cornell University, USA), R. Hüber (Max-Planck Institute for Biochemistry, Münich, Germany), and K. Wüthrich (ETH, Zürich, Switzerland), along with Profs. V. Balzani (University of Bologna, Italy), A. Fujishima (Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology, Japan), and Dr. J. Wouters (Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, Belgium). Major program sessions were devoted to the title themes, exemplifying the positive role that chemistry plays in health, the natural environment, and cultural heritage. Six additional sessions were devoted to subdisciplinary themes and to chemical education. About 45 keynote lectures were delivered during parallel sessions, together with numerous contributed papers and posters. As always, poster sessions proved immensely popular amongst delegates and provided much opportunity for informal interaction, particularly with the large number of younger scientists who featured prominently in this part of the program.Publication of selected works based upon IUPAC Congress proceedings can be traced back to the origins of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It is therefore a pleasure to offer readers a representative glimpse of a diverse scientific program, and to continue a fine publication tradition that promises to enrich the archive. Congress papers are augmented in this issue by co-publication with those arising from the parallel event CHEM-BIO-TECH2007, a joint meeting of the IUPAC 1st Symposium on Chemical Biotechnology (ISCB-1) and the 8th Symposium on Bioorganic Chemistry (ISBOC-8). The organizers are grateful to all who contributed to a successful scientific program, and particularly thank those enthusiastic presenters who consented to contribute to this permanent record of a memorable Congress.James R.

‘A Scotsman of the finest type; a true son of the manse; a man of simple faith and simple life, who gave all he could to others, and to whom duty was more important than worldly success and honours. There must be thousands of old students, all over the world, who remember him with gratitude and affection. They came to him with their troubles; he helped them to run their societies, played tennis with them, sang at their concerts. His last year of service was as full and fruitful as his first, he was active to within a few days of his death. He leaves no enmities behind him; only full hearts and happy friendships. Write him as one who loved his fellow men.’ In these words Sir Henry Tizard, F.R.S., Rector of the Imperial College, paid tribute in The Times to J. C. Philip, shortly after his death on 6 August 1941: therein is portrayed the character of a finely balanced, greatly respected, kindly man. Philip, at the time of his death, was Professor Emeritus of Physical Chemistry and Deputy Rector of the Imperial College and President of the Chemical Society and had only just ceased to be President of the Society of Chemical Industry. James Charles Philip was born on 12 February 1873 the fifth and the youngest son of Reverend John Philip, D.D., who was Minister of the Free Church for many years at Fordoun, Kincardineshire. His mother, whose maiden name was Janet Morison Littlejohn, lived long enough to see all her family started in their careers. The father died in 1904 at the age of eighty-two. He was one of four brothers who were all ministers of religion. Neither father nor mother had relations who had been interested in scientific matters or professionally connected with engineering or with medicine, but their own family launched out into various professions. One of the brothers became a successful engineer, another a banker, another a schoolmaster, and only one a minister. That the youngest should seek a scientific career was something quite new in the family.

Because of the Centenary celebrations of the Chemical Society and the Eleventh International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, several thousands of chemists were present in London in mid-July 1947. There were representatives from practically every country in the world. Both events would have taken place in 1941 but for the war. The Chemical Society was founded in 1841 and in 1938, at the Tenth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, it was agreed that the Eleventh Congress should take place in London, at the same time as the Centenary Celebrations of the Chemical Society. The Royal Society took a prominent part in the Chemical Society’s Celebrations. At the Opening Ceremony the President spoke on behalf of all Scientific Societies in the United Kingdom, and presented a congratulatory address from the Royal Society (see page 140). On the following day he delivered the Faraday Lecture of the Chemical Society. On 17 July the Society invited Fellows of the Chemical Society, and Members of the Eleventh International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry to a reception, held in Burlington House. Members of the International Physiological Congress being held at Oxford were also invited.
