FOREWORD


The

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

founded in 1949

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 would 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 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 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.



ABOUT T H E EDITOR Lawrence B. Ebert is a staff chemist at Exxon's Corporate Research Laboratories i n Clinton Township, New Jersey. H e obtained his Ph. D . in physical chemistry from Stanford, where he was a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation F e l low, and his B. S. from the University of C h i cago. His principal research interest is i n benzenoid compounds, ranging from graphite to aromatic hydrocarbons. At Exxon, he has stud ied a variety of messy black materials, includ ing petroleum residua, cokes, and coals. H e is the editor of the book Chemistry of Engine Combustion Deposits (Plenum, 1985). Ebert has intensively studied intercalation compounds of graphite, ma terials i n which the layered graphite matrix serves as host to various guest ions and molecules. H e is currently defining the frontier at which polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon molecules begin to behave as the delocalized infinite graphite.
