Abstract
Symposia and seminars on intermolecular interaction and conformations of molecules constitute one of the most efficient directions of activity of the Crystal Chemistry Section of the Scientific Council on Chemical Kinetics and Structure of the RAS. They were initiated in 1971. Since then, eight symposia attended by up to 300 participants each (over a period from 1972 to 1990) and twelve seminars were held. Initially, these were Moscow seminars (up to 1979), and then they took on the status of All-Union seminars. The XIIth Seminar was held in Kharkov on October 3--8, 1994. About 100 scientists from 55 scientific centers (mostly of Russia and Ukraine) participated in it. The main attention was focused on the theoretical calculation studies as well as the most significant experimental works that contain fundamentally new information or point to new ingenious ways for the development of this branch of science. Investigations dealing with computer simulation; comprehensive studies of structure-dependent properties of chemical compounds carried out using modern physical methods; a series of works considering partially ordered specific objects (such as Langmuir--Blodgett films); biochemical and biophysical works dealing with studies of the dependence of biological activity or biological functions on the atomic and molecular structures of systems and interatomic or intermolecular forces were presented at the Seminar. In recent years, the reports presented at these Seminars have been published as collective thematic selections (Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii [Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry (Engl. Transl.)], No. 1 and 2 in 1992, No. 2 in 1993, No. 6 in 1994, No. 1 in 1995). The materials of the XIIth Seminar will be published in Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii [Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry (Engl. Transl.)[, Zhurnal Strukturnoi Khimii [Journal of Structural Chemistry (Engl. Transl)], and Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya [Russian Chemical Bulletin (Engl. Transl.), see the "Physical Chemistry" and "Chemistry of Natural Compounds and Bioorganic Chemistry" sections[.
