Foreword
THE ACS SYMPOSIUM SERIES was first published in 1974 to provide
a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The pur
pose of the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books devel
oped from ACS sponsored symposia based on current scientific re
search. Occasionally, books are developed from symposia sponsored
by other organizations when the topic is of keen interest to the chem
istry audience.
Before agreeing to publish a book, the proposed table of contents
is reviewed for appropriate and comprehensive coverage and for in
terest to the audience. Some papers may be excluded in order to better
focus the book; others may be added to provide comprehensiveness.
When appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are added.
Drafts of chapters are peer-reviewed prior to final acceptance or re
jection, and manuscripts are prepared in camera-ready format.
As a rule, only original research papers and original review pa
pers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions of previ
ously published papers aie not accepted.
