The 39 papers presented by 26 scientists from seven NATO countries and Japan consider general thermodynamic properties of sulfur functionalities in molecules; experimental techniques for the investigation of sulfur-centered reactive intermediates; the generation and properties of these species, particularly radical and non-radical cations; the synthesis of specially tailored molecules; the application of sulfur-organic compounds and sulfur-centered radicals for the preparation of new compounds and the understanding of reaction mechanisms; and the role of sulfur compounds and sulfur- centered radical species in biochemistry and biology. (Does this esteemed series have a new printer/binder? We note acidic paper and a poor job of glueing.)
