Chemical Bond Archives

The Chemical Bond, the official newsletter of the St Louis Section–ACS, is published nine times a year (Jan-May and Sep-Dec).

An email reminder is sent to the entire membership email list when each new issue is posted on the website. ACS members new to the Section are subscribed automatically, but may opt out at any time. Any update you make to your email address at the national ACS website will trickle down to us the following month.

If you wish to subscribe to our email list, just follow the “Join our email list” link at the bottom of any page, and update your profile to include “Chemical Bond reminders”. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, so you can back out at any time. We strictly honor your choices, and we don’t share email addresses with anyone.

You can keep current with newly posted items by subscribing to our RSS feed. Enter www.stlacs.org/feed/ in your feed reader’s search bar.

Archives

Our archives have gone through several transitions as our methods for preparing and publishing the Chemical Bond have evolved:

• Prior to 2001, the Chemical Bond was prepared for hard-copy printing as camera-ready artwork hand-delivered to the printer. We do not have an electronic archive of these issues. We do have printed copies of almost all issues which can be manually searched upon reasonable request.
• In 2001 (Volume 52), we began to prepare the Bond as a pdf that was emailed to the printer. Some gaps in 2001 have been filled with scanned issues. All those print-edition pdfs are archived here.
• Starting in 2010 (Volume 61), the Chemical Bond became a web-only publication with no hard-copy produced. The html pages are archived here. The last four issues of 2009 were dual-published in hard- and soft-copy to help members make the transition. Both versions are archived.
• In 2017 (Volume 68), the Chemical Bond became a dynamic compilation of blog posts from the previous calendar month; no html archive exists for these issues, but we have preserved them as web-to-pdf files (open in PDF reader) so that the archive will continue to be available. However, searching for the individual blog posts is a more efficient way to find archived content. On any blog page, you can filter blog posts to a specific month (which should exactly replicate the content of the following month’s issue), or search by topic/keyword(s) for distinct articles.
