Foreword The A C S Symposium Series was first published i n 1974 to provide a mechanism for publishing symposia quickly i n book form. The purpose o f the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from A C S sponsored symposia based on current scientific research. Occasionally, books are developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is o f keen interest to the chemistry audience. Before agreeing to publish a book, the proposed table o f contents is reviewed for appropriate and comprehensive coverage and for interest to the audience. Some papers may be excluded to better focus the book; others may be added to provide comprehensiveness. W h e n appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are added. Drafts o f chapters are peer-reviewed prior to final acceptance or rejection, and manuscripts are prepared i n camera-ready format. A s a rule, only original research papers and original review papers are included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions o f previously published papers are not accepted.
