ABOUT THE EDITORS J. MILTON HARRIS is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. H e was Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Cali fornia State University, Fullerton, from 1970 to 1973 and Visiting Research Fellow at Princeton University from 1969 to 1970. H e received a B.S. in chemistry at Auburn University in 1963 and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin in 1969. His research inter ests in physical organic chemistry include predicting transition-state structure, characterizing solvents and nucleophiles, and studying nucleophilic substitution. Additional research interests include synthesis of poly ethers and applications in biological purifications, surface modification, and enzyme modification and synthesis of new organic solids for use in optics and growth of crystals of these materials in microgravity.

SAMUEL P. M c M A N U S is Professor of Chemis try at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He was graduated in 1960 with a B.S. degree in chemistry from The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, and received M . S . and Ph.D. degrees from Clemson University, specializing in organic chemistry. H e began investigating intramolecular nucleophilic reactions while still a graduate student. While a chemist at Ε. I. du Pont de Nemours' Marshall Labora tory in Philadelphia and with the U.S. A r m y at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, his attention turned to the chemical reactions of polymers, a field that still attracts his attention. At the University of Alabama, D r . McManus resumed studies of nucleophilicity and has been especially active in the study of nucleophilic reactions with carbocations and ion pairs. Lately, he has explored the effects of microgravity on chemical processes. His research has led to more than 75 articles. He has also edited Organic Reactive Intermediates (1973) and coauthored Neighboring Group Participation (1976, with B. Capon). ν In Nucleophilicity; Harris, J., et al.; Advances in Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1987.


FOREWORD The A D V A N C E S I N C H E M I S T R Y S E R I E S was

founded in 1 9 4 9 by

the American Chemical Society as an outlet for symposia and collections of data in special areas of topical interest that could not be accommodated in the Society's journals. It provides a medium for symposia that would otherwise be fragmented because their papers w o u l d be distributed among several journals or not published at all. Papers are reviewed critically according to A C S editorial standards and receive the careful attention and processing characteristic of A C S publications. Volumes in the ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY SERIES maintain the integrity of the symposia on which they are based; however, verbatim reproductions of previously published papers are not accepted. Papers may include reports of research as well as reviews, because symposia may embrace both types of presentation.
