Sommario/riassunto: | The book is divided in two parts, to supply first the basic elements of the language, with short but complete explanations of terms, methods and theories; and then to describe the present status of studies on the processes by which organic molecules aggregate to form observable bodies and to determine their physical and chemical properties. - ;This book is divided in two parts. Part I provides a brief but accurate summary of all the basic ideas, theories, methods, and conspicuous results of structure analysis and molecular modelling of the condensed phases of organic compounds: quantum chemist |
