Looking back on the significant advances in synthetic organic chemistry during the past year, there appear to have been two clear trends of development. The first stemmed from the recognition that elements such as boron, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, and platinum, once solely the concern of inorganic chemists, also have an important place in organic chemistry. The traditional fields of organic and inorganic chemistry, thus, are unmistakably merging. The second trend was the convergence of synthetic organic chemistry with biology and biochemistry. An example of the first-mentioned trend is the use of inorganic boron compounds to help achieve combinations of organic carbon molecules.

The Table was made by fixing varnished MDF onto an old frame. To finish it off, hessian was used to hide the joins between the base and top. It's a huge Table so there's always space to work, eat or play, without having to clear it off completely. Simple chairs in an organic shape add a contemporary touch and can be easily stacked out of the way when not needed.

Roger Adams Award in Organic Chemistry. Sponsored by the American Chemical Society Division of Organic Chemical and Organic Syntheses, Inc., and awarded every two years, the $10,000 Roger Adams Award is given for outstanding contributions to research in organic chemistry. The 1967 recipient was John D. Roberts, professor of chemistry and chairman of the division of chemistry and chemical engineering at the California Institute of Technology. Roberts was honored for his work in those areas concerned with the relation of structure to reactivity, reaction mechanisms, small-ring compounds, and nuclear magnetic resonance spec-troscopy.
