FOREWORD A D V A N C E S I N C H E M I S T R Y S E R I E S was founded i n 1 9 4 9 b y
the
American Chemical Society as an outlet for symposia and col lections of data i n special areas of topical interest that could not be accommodated i n the Society's journals. It provides a medium for symposia that would otherwise be fragmented, their papers distributed among several journals or not pub lished at all. Papers are refereed critically according to A C S editorial standards and receive the careful attention and proc essing characteristic of A C S publications. Papers published in A D V A N C E S I N C H E M I S T R Y S E R I E S are original contributions
not published elsewhere i n whole or major part and include reports of research as well as reviews since symposia may em brace both types of presentation.

PREFACE TiJ"ôssbauer spectroscopy is the term now used to describe a new analytical technique which has developed using γ-ray nuclear reso nance fluorescence or the Môssbauer effect. For most of the time since Rudolf Mossbauer's discovery i n 1958 it was the physicist who utilized this new tool. Starting approximately in 1962 some chemists realized the potential of this new technique. Since then they have applied Môssbauer spectroscopy to the study of chemical bonding, crystal structure, electron density, ionic states, and magnetic properties as well as other properties. It is now considered a complimentary tool to other accepted spectroscopic techniques such as N M R , N Q R , and E S R . Despite all the information that might be obtained using Môssbauer spectroscopy, some of its limitations naturally discouraged many chemists from us
