As a conclusion to this introductory survey we underline a few points which are probably already clear for the reader. Intermetallic science includes so many topics and is related to so many fundamental and applied problems that a different content selection and sequence could be easily envisaged for a book on this subject. We hope that the reader, who of course is forced to accept the book structure we adopted, will be at least partially helped by the lists of general cross-references and reading suggestions that we have inserted. 

The Russian criticism of the theory of resonance seems to be based largely upon the fact that the contributing resonance structures do not have real existence.44 Essentially the same point is made in HiickeFs book Structural Chemistry of Inorganic Compounds Kh in the last paragraph of V.olume I, in a note of criticism of the theory of resonance supplied by the translator of the English edition, L. H. Long, the complaint is expressed in the following words ... 

The content of the book, structured into nine chapters, each being sub-divided into a number of sections, results from the long-term course presentations and the many connected discussions. 

The theory described here was fully developed during the early years of high resolution NMR investigations and is now standard. The classic work is included in the High Resolution NMR by Pople, Schneider, and Bernstein,34 and the book Structure of High Resolution NMR Spectra by P. L. Corio79 covers some aspects of... 

In the context of this book, structure solution from first principles (also referred to as the ab initio structure determination) means that all crystallographic data, including lattice parameters and symmetry, and the distribution of atoms in the unit cell, are inferred from the analysis of the scattered intensity as a function of Bragg angle, collected during a powder diffraction experiment. Additional information, such as the gravimetric density of a material, its chemical composition, basic physical and chemical properties, may be used as well, when available.

Water-containing clusters tend to have different H-bond framework at high temperature. Generally, the temperature-entropy effect decreases the number of H-bond interactions. Especially, the H-bond clusters with some angle strain are affected by temperature. So, the cyclic ring or book structures are more stable at high temperatures, while at low temperatures 3-D structures (cage and prism)... 

The program of catastrophe theory has been formulated in the Thom s book Structural Stability and Morphogenesis. The philosophical, mathematical and experimental incentives to the program of catastrophe theory may be found there. On the position of catastrophe theory among methods of investigation of stability of solutions of non-linear equations (models) one may learn from a book by Thompson. Stewart s and Zeeman s papers on the perspectives of the development of generalized catastrophe theory are also worth study. 

The percentage contribution of the 3-body component to the total potential energy varies from 20% at T = 25 K to 13% at T = 270 K. There is a weak maximum in the Cy Vi. T curve at T = 135 K. The functional behavior of Cy is of a similar form to that obtained from previous simulations employing the NCC and TIP4P water potentials [45]. Based on earlier model potential studies [47], this maximum is due to the transformation from cage and prism structures to the ring and open-book structures. 

Many of the ideas on which this work is based could only be sketched in the available space some of the interpretations are preliminary or incomplete, and some problems, for example, the role of solvent, have hardly been mentioned. In view of the title of this book, Structure Correlation , this seems permissible, and, in any case, the loose ends are amenable to exploration combining reliable experimental data with sound theoretical ideas. 

The two diiridium(I) complexes of Scheme 3, which show planar and open-book structures, respectively, constitute further examples of d d H -activating species. The reaction of the planar complex [Ir2( X-H)( X-P Bu2)(CO)2(PH Bu2)2]... 

The occurrence of such barriers is not unexpected, judging from both the concepts of crystal formation [222,223] and the existence of distorted terraces on the surface of such crystallites [224]. Moreover, the novel options of interference and IR microscopy [225-230] provide plenty of evidence for notable differences between the real structure of zeolite crystallites and their ideal (text book) structure [231]. The direct structural demonstration of these barriers, however, has to remain a task for the future. 

Note that the term structure appears three times in this quotation the structure of water is the problem in physical chemistry, the main subject of the review, and the key feature of water that needs to be understood. Indeed, the structure of water has been the focus of most investigations of water and aqueous solutions. It is so central a concept that it appears in the title of Eisenberg and Kauzmann s book Structure and Properties of Water. Clearly, the structure of water is an important feature of water. However, as we shall see throughout this book, the structure itself is not essential to the understanding of liquid water and aqueous solutions.
