"Even in a specialized age it is important for all chemists to be aware of developments at the frontiers of chemistry and, indeed, in other areas of science. The editors and editorial board of the Journal of the American Chemical Society believe JACS can help serve this purpose by publishing the best papers across a wide range of chemistry, presenting new methodologies applied to important problems, new synthetic methods, novel theoretical advances, and significant new results on structures and reactions." -Allen J. Bard, Editor
