The Advances in Chemistry Series

Abstract

THE growth in the number of symposia presented at AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY meetings has been rapid in the last several years. The importance of these symposia is widely recognized. They provide opportunities to review and evaluate scientific and technological advancements at periodic intervals. In an era when research is expanding at a rapid rate and scientists and technologists are experiencing increasing difficulties in keeping abreast of even a small portion of the published literature, periodic symposia perform a most useful purpose. Occasionally, however, symposia are of such a highly specialized nature that only a relatively small percentage of the readers of any one of the established ACS journals would be served by journal publication.
