The journal was renamed ''Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions'', and split in two (''Faraday Transactions I: Physical Chemistry in Condensed Phases'' and ''Faraday Transactions II: Molecular and Chemical Physics''). After the merger, the Royal Society carried the publication until its end. In 1990, the two journals merged into a single ''Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions'', which continued publication until 1998 when it merged with a number of other
