The NMR chapters have now returned, with a coverage now limited to those publications where the spectroscopic data have been significant in structural or mechanistic terms. I am most grateful to my fellow Reporters for their accuracy and promptness, and to the staff of the Royal Society of Chemistry for all their assistance.
