The mission of the NJ-ACS NMR Topical Group is to bring together scientists who use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a research tool from academia and industry, students of NMR, as well as vendors of NMR-related products. It organizes monthly meetings that consist of a social hour, a buffet dinner, followed by a presentation by an invited speaker.
From time to time, the NMR Topical group may host scientific symposia on topics related to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These events serve as excellent venues for networking within the local scientific community. Also, through its activities, the NMR Topical group raises public awareness of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and its service to the scientific community.
The North Jersey section (NJ-ACS) of the American Chemical Society is a non-profit organization which qualifies for tax exempt status under section 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code.

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.
