History of the NJ ACS NMR Topical Group

1960s-1970

During the 1960s and early 1970s, a group of analytical chemists held monthly meetings at Sadtler Labs in Philadelphia to discuss topical spectroscopic problems, especially NMR. The group moved to New Jersey under NJ-ACS auspices in 1972-73, and introduced formal lectures by invited speakers in 1973.
