We are grateful to the sharp-eyed reader who picked
out the mistake in our article, "Fifty-Year Trends in the
Chemical Industry" (J. Chem. Educ.1999,76, 177-189). The correct caption for Figure 2 on page 179 of the February
1999 issue is:
Figure 2. Schematic representation showing the snugfit of an n-butylammonium ion in a channel of a ZSM-5 zeolite. The zeolite crystal is made up of Si and Al ions (both shown in silver) linked together by oxygens (red). The nitrogen atom (blue) of the organic molecule is ionically bound to an anionic site in the channel wall.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
