Additional Description

Series Description

This series contains the files of IUPAC’s Organic Chemistry Division. Established in 1949, it worked to promote the goals of IUPAC in the field of organic chemistry. The Organic Chemistry Division was renamed the Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Division in 1999.

Arranged in its original order, the Organic Chemistry Division files document the activities of several bodies that were either formed or placed under the Organic Chemistry Division’s oversight. The bodies represented in this series include the Commission on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry and the Commission on Physical Organic Chemistry. Two files regarding the Organic Chemistry Division Archives are also present here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Organic Chemistry Division files. Preprints, papers, and draft versions of rules are preserved in this series as well.
