224th ACS National Meeting, Boston (18-22 August)
The ACS national meetings are always one of the premier events
in the conference calendar and this August’s
exposition was no exception. 17,121 people attended, generating a
tremendous atmosphere. As well as the usual wealth of lectures from highly
distinguished members of the chemical community there was also a large contingent
of companies displaying their wares and, of course, Thieme Chemistry was there too.
 |
Thieme Chemistry took this opportunity to announce the launch of
the electronic version of Science of Synthesis. The addition of our reference
work to the Integrated Major Reference Works produced by MDL was also announced
at a joint reception held on Monday evening. Many of our advisors, collaborators
and customers attended the reception, which by all accounts was a great success.
The evening was punctuated by two short speeches by Dr Guido Herrmann, Managing Director
Thieme Chemistry, and MDL’s Phil McHale. The speeches focused on the direction that the
project will take and also thanked those people that have contributed so much time and
effort to making this product a success. |

It was a great pleasure to be joined by our development partners InfoChem and also many
of our technology advisors, including Grace Baysinger (Stanford
University), and Andreas Barth (FIZ Karlsruhe), to name but a few. The reception seemed
to be a great success, providing people with an opportunity to talk to colleagues and
like-minded people in an informal atmosphere.

In the exhibition hall itself, Thieme Chemistry showcased the electronic versions
of Science of Synthesis and the Houben–Weyl series, which
are designed to provide the user with an unparalleled source of evaluated synthetic
methodologies. We also used the ACS meeting to demonstrate the alpha version of our
online solution for the well-known Pharmaceutical Substances. The final version of
Pharmaceutical Substances is earmarked for completion before the end of 2002, but it is
already generating a great deal of interest amongst current users of the print and CD
versions. |
