Nomenclature Changes for CA Index Names
Effective the week of December 11, 2006 CAS began implementing a number of changes that simplify CA index nomenclature and make CA index names more logical, consistent and easier to understand. These changes represent the most significant group of modifications to CAS index nomenclature since the introduction of the 9th collective index (9CI) nomenclature in 1972.

More detailed information about the CAS nomenclature changes is now
available on the CAS website at http://www.cas.org/ONLINE/UG/urcover.html

IUPAC-NIST Solubility Database
A database containing solubilities originally published in the IUPAC (International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry) - NIST Solubility Data Series is now available online.
Scope: There are over 67,500 solubility measurements, compiled from 18 volumes of the IUPAC Solubility Data Series. There are about 1800 chemical substances in the database and 5200 systems, of which 473 have been critically evaluated. The database has over 1800 references. Updated: March, 2006

Google patent search
Google announced Google patents and claim to be searching
all 7+ million US patents, comparing to the USPTO official site http://www.uspto.gov/patft/ that allows full-text search for patents since 1976. According to Google, the new search feature covers the entire collection of patents made available by the USPTO-from patents issued in the 1790s through those issued in the middle of 2006.

Encyclopedia of Earth
Yet, another interesting Wiki project, the Encyclopedia of Earth, a new electronic reference about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society. The Encyclopedia is a free, fully searchable collection of articles written by scholars, professionals, educators, and experts who collaborate and review each other's work. The articles are written in non-technical language and will be useful to students, educators, scholars, professionals, as well as to the general public.

Impossible polymers
A new class thin film polymers previously thought inaccessible to organic chemists has been produced by US researchers. Chris Snively and Jochen Lauterbach of the University of Delaware knew that the textbooks precluded the possibility of synsthesizing polymers from 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes. However, they did not let such received wisdom deter them in their efforts and finally their efforts paid off with the formation of a new type of ultra-thin polymer film. "There's been a rule that these molecules wouldn't polymerize," Snively says, "When I first saw that in a textbook when I was in graduate school, I said to myself, 'Don't tell me I can't do this.'" They mapped out the original synthesis some time ago, but have now used a vapor deposition technique to produce nano-thin films of these materials and are currently investigating their properties. Until the current polymer textbooks are revised, the researchers will continue to relish advising their students to make a marginal correction to their notes.
