Static, Kinematic and Dynamic Aspecys

of Crystal and Molecular Structure

 

Directors:

H.-B. Buergi, Bern and Jack D. Dunitz, Zurich

 

This Course will attempt to review past achievements, present projects and future goals in the realm of crystal and molecular structure studies by diffraction and spectroscopic methods. The title is intended to indicate and emphasis on the description and understanding of atomic motion in molecules and crystals, with relevance to physical properties , chemical reactivity and phase transformations.

Titles of the lectures and speaker in sequential order:
