Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is based on a symposium held in Beijing in September 1986 and draws together the disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics and mineralogy and both practical and theoretical research to examine the question of structure. Structure can be characterized in many ways from simple structural formulae to complex wave functions depending on the discipline and area of application.;The correlation between structure and chemical, physical or biological activity is often the main point of interest between diverse disciplines. The interdisciplinary nature of this study may appeal to scien tists.
