Structure and Function Describes how the understanding of structure property relationships may be used to interpret known compounds and how to design novel molecules and materials with the desired properties. This book covers the theoretical background experimental techniques and applications of structure property correlations The thermodynamic properties reactivities and electronic properties of molecular compounds and materials depend on structure. Therefore an important basis for progress is to fully appreciate and fundamentally understand the intimate relation between structure and function.Structure and Function describes various fundamental aspects of structures dynamics and physics of molecules and materials. The approaches data and models discussed include new theoretical developments computational studies and experimental work from molecular chemistry to biology and materials science.
