The author reflects on the papers that were published in the previous issue of "Chemical Engineering News." He expressed her gratefulness to the contributors who shared their knowledge for the readers. The author said that as she finish her service to the publication, she hopes that health and environmental issues will be given solution by the chemists. Moreover, she believes that in her many years of serving the journal, she gained a lot of knowledge and values.

The article reports that chemists at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey have discovered a one-pot reaction in which 18 molecular components react sequentially to form a cavernous, covalent molecule that may encapsulate other, smaller molecules. Recent synthesis of covalent nanocontainer molecules is more atom-efficient thus, advantageous in applications such as drug delivery, separation science, catalysis and sensing. The discovery has been documented through a paper authored by Ralf Warmuth, a chemist at the university.

Reports on the effort of the Younger Chemists Committee in the promotion of its vision to lead younger chemists into successful careers and active roles in American Chemical Society (ACS). Conversion of the committee's newsletter from paper to electronic form; Sponsorship of programs on various topics; Establishment of a liaison to interact with ACS divisions.

Profiles Ray Crist, a chemist who stopped teaching at Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania on April 13, 2004 at the age of 104, according to the Associated Press. Plan of Crist to research on a paper to explain how plants absorb toxic metals to clean the soil.

Focuses on the scientific paper written by chemist Charles J. Pedersen, which describes the synthesis, identification, structures and properties of 33 cyclic polyethers in the United States. Method used by Pedersen that led to the discovery of crown ethers and their complexes; Significance of the discovery of crown ethers in the development of host-guest chemistry and supermolecular chemistry; Career background; Brief biographical profile; Contribution to the field of chemistry.

Focuses on the American Chemical Society national meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. Presentation of record number of papers; Celebration of anniversaries at special events; Symposia of distinguished chemists from industry, academe and government.
