The 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry  The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2001 for the development of catalytic asymmetric synthesis, with one half jointly to Ryoji Noyori and William S. Knowles and the other half to K. Barry Sharpless. Find out more...
Thieme-IUPAC Prize 2002 Call for Nominations The call for nominations for the next Thieme-IUPAC Prize is now closed. The Thieme-IUPAC Prize will be awarded at ICOS14 in Christchurch, New Zealand, July 2002. Find out more about the prize.
SYNTHESIS and SYNLETT Editors Meet in Barcelona The Editorial Boards of SYNTHESIS (T. Bach, E. Carreira (not present), D. Enders, T. Fukuyama, P. Knochel, P.J. Kocienski and M. Lautens), as well as SYNLETT (B. Giese, L. Harwood, S.V. Ley, V. Snieckus, H. Yamamoto and K.P.C. Vollhardt), met from May 24th to May 26th in Barcelona to analyze the past year and to design the future of the Thieme Chemistry journals. The Editors of both journals reported that in 2000 there had been a substantial increase in the submission of high quality papers, which has consequently led to harder-to-reach criteria for acceptance. Both Thieme Chemistry journals were again ranked in the top ten of impact factors, and were rated amongst the fastest with respect to publication times as well as being positioned at the lower end of the price range. One of the - scientific - highlights of the second day was the first ever online demonstration of the internet version of Science of Synthesis. This was followed by an inspiring discussion on the new integrated Thieme Chemistry program, which brings together all Thieme chemistry related products in one strategic concept, including SYNTHESIS and SYNLETT as fully interactive electronic journals. A guided tour through the gothic quarter of Barcelona added to the afterglow of a scientifically and socially extraordinary meeting.

Reception Celebrating Publication of Volume 9 Professor Gerhard Maas and an enthusiastic team of authors from Volume 9 joined members of the Science of Synthesis team and many contributors to the project to celebrate the publication of Volume 9. A collection of over 50 people involved in the project gathered on 23rd February at Thieme Haus in Stuttgart to celebrate 4 years of close collaboration, culminating in the release of Volume 9 in December 2000. Volume 9 belongs to the category: Hetarenes and Related Ring Systems and is the second volume to be published in the Science of Synthesis print series. As the reception coincided with a visit to Germany, Professor David Black from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia was pleased to be able to attend. As a future volume editor for Volume 15, as well as an author for Volume 9, he was happy to share in the celebration and learn from the successful experiences of Professor Maas and his team.
Volume Editors Meet at Pacifichem in Hawaii No less than 12 Science of Synthesis editors and volume editors were in attendance at the Pacifichem meeting in Hawaii and all shunned the sun-drenched beach for an involved and fruitful meeting for Science of Synthesis. The participants included experienced, new, and prospective volume editors. Lively and instructive discussions took place with an informative exchange of information between the editors and experienced volume editors on one hand and the new volume editors on the other. A highlight of the meeting was a pre-view demonstration of the electronic version of Volume 10 which constitutes a breakthrough in tertiary literature publication.
