Series Description

This series contains the files of IUPAC’s Inorganic Chemistry Division. Established in 1949, it concerns itself with matters regarding inorganic chemistry, including isotopes, atomic weights, and the periodic table.

Arranged in its original order, the Inorganic Chemistry Division files document the activities of several bodies that were either formed or placed under the Inorganic Chemistry Division’s oversight. The bodies represented in this series include, but are not limited to, the Commission on Physiochemical Symbols, Terminology and Units, the Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, and the Commission on High Temperature Materials and Solid State Chemistry.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Inorganic Chemistry Division files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including manuscripts and papers are preserved here as well.
