Preface The second volume of NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum continues the work we started with the first volume in providing effective approaches for using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers as powerful tools for investigating a wide variety of phenomena at the undergraduate level. This volume focuses on first year and organic chemistry courses. Our hope is that the applications and strategies in this volume are helpful to those who are looking to transform their curriculum by integrating more NMR spectroscopy, to those who might not have considered NMR spectroscopy as a tool for solving certain types of problems, or for those seeking funding for a new or replacement NMR spectrometer. As with the previous volume, this volume includes contributions from authors who have presented at one or more of our NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum symposia that have been held annually since 2009 at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring National Meetings. We are extremely grateful to everybody who worked tirelessly to bring this project to fruition. We thank our authors, because without their contributions and passion for sharing their innovative methods for integrating NMR spectroscopy into the undergraduate curriculum, this volume would not exist. All of our authors thoughtfully responded to editorial and peer-reviewer comments, and for that we thank them. We also thank our many colleagues who acted as peer-reviewers for this volume. They selflessly dedicated significant amounts of their valuable time to providing constructive criticism to all of our authors. Their work made everybody’s work stronger as a result. At ACS Books, we thank Bob Hauserman, Tim Marney, Arlene Furman, Anne Brenner, and the entire staff whose technical expertise, rapid responses to our many questions, and understanding when we made mistakes made this entire endeavor possible. Finally, we acknowledge the financial assistance of Anasazi Instruments, Bruker, JEOL, and Thermo Fisher who have kindly provided sponsorship for our NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum symposium over the past seven years.
