The
Rossini LectureA Brief History
In
recognition of the contributions of Prof. F. D. Rossini to
the work of the IUPAC Commission on Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry
during his 39- year membership (19341973), the Commission
decided, in 1973, to institute a "Rossini Lecture," to be
given during the IUPAC International Conferences on Chemical
Thermodynamics. The first lecture was given by Prof. Rossini
himself at the Fourth Conference held in August 1975 in Montpellier,
France. Rossini lecturers were appointed by the Commission
on Thermodynamics until 2002, but, as a result of the restructuring
of IUPAC, they will be elected in the future by the Board
of Directors of the newly established International Association
of Chemical Thermodynamics. The text of these lectures is
published in Pure and Applied Chemistry (see table)
and in the Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics (see
table below).
