The constitution of molecules is given by lists of atoms and bonds (connectivity lists topological representation )6 . In addition, the number of free electrons for each atom is also carried in a separate vector. This is necessary as some reaction generators may transform free electrons into bonds, or vice versa. Thus, by working with free electrons and the electrons involved in bonds, all valence electrons of a molecule are explicitly specified. 

Mesogen constituted of molecules, each with more than one mesogenic group. 

Mass fraction of the dissolved or dispersed material resulting from a nelM ork-formm% polymerization or crosslinking process that is constituted of molecules of finite (statistically definable) relative molecular masses. 

The primary interaction of radiation with matter leads to the formation of positive ions and excited molecules. Thus, in a medium constituted of molecules of a substance AB, the primary radiation-chemical events can be written ... 

Mechanically interlocked molecular compounds, including catenanes, rotax-anes, and carceplex, are constituted of molecules composed of two or more components that cannot be separated from each other [95-98]. The development of strategy for achieving controlled self-assembling systems by non-covalent interaction enables one to prepare such attractive compounds for applications in nanoscale molecular devices. The dithiafulvene derivatives are effective electron donors, which are good candidates to form those supramolecular systems with appropriate acceptors by virtue of intermolec-ular CT interactions. In this chapter, dithiafulvene polymers forming rotax-ane structures are especially described. 

Many entries in a BB-matrix are zero. Therefore, for the internal representation of molecules in the program a more compact form was chosen. The constitution of molecules and ensemble of molecules is given by doubly indexed lists of bonds. The free electrons on the atoms are kept in a separate vector, as are the atomic numbers (see Fig. 4). 

The interest in theoretical chemistry has increased greatly in the last 25 years. There is now a firm conviction of the necessity of probing deeper into the problems of the constitution of molecules and crystals if there is to be any real insight and understanding with respect to chemical properties and processes. 

Mathematical chemistry, the new challenging discipline of chemistry has established itself in recent years. Its main goal is to develop formal (mathematical) methods for chemical theory and (to some extent) for data analysis. Its history may be traced back to Caley s attempt, more than 100 years ago, to use the graph theoretical representation and interpretation of the chemical constitution of molecules for the enumeration of acyclic chemical structures. Graph theory and related areas of discrete mathematics are the main tools of qualitative theoretical treatment of chemistry [1,2]. However, attempts to contemplate connections between mathematics and chemistry and to predict new chemical facts with the help of formal mathematics have been scarce throughout the entire history of chemistry. 

The study of kinetics and mechanism of pyrolysis is of considerable scientific interest, with regard to the thermal behaviour of organic molecules, the precise constitution of molecules or copolymers, including irregularities, such as structural defects and incorporation of initiator molecnles and radical scavengers, used to control the MW. 

The natural model of the respective molecular structure is molecular graphs [2, 3,12, 69]. Molecular graphs are ones which represent the constitution of molecules. In these graphs vertices correspond to individual atoms and edges to chemical bonds between them. The molecular graph corresponding to propane is shown in Figure 5. 

The sense of triumph of Kolbe and Frankland was to be short-lived, for, coincidentally, Williamson s first ether paper appeared at the same time as Kolbe s major review paper. Curiously, though, on a deeper level the work of Frankland and Kolbe had much in common with Williamson s, for all three chemists were atypically interested in questions that did not much exercise their colleagues striving toward the determination of absolute constitutions of molecules and expressing those constitutions using rational formulas that could be interpreted mechanically and realistically. 

The idea that these formulas are intended to express is now fairly well known, so it will not be necessary to go into details. I retain the [sausage] form that I adopted in 1859, when I expressed for the first time my views on the atomic constitution of molecules. The form is moreover nearly identical to that which M. Wurtz has used in his admirable Legons de philosophie chimique. It appears to me to be preferable to the modifications proposed by MM. Loschmidt and Crum Brown. ... 

The chemical constitution of molecules has also been represented by various types of matrices. For the present purpose the BE-matrices are particularly suitable. 

Figures 6 and 7 schematically illustrate possible arrangements of studied amphiphiles under compression. For a monolayer constituted of molecules such as CiiCONH-j8-CD, DMPC or DPPC, possessing hydro-phobic chains oriented toward the air phase and polar groups located at the level of the air/water interface both the molecular area and surface pressure are determined by the packing of molecules in plane of the monolayer. The compression of such monolayers would solely bring about a change in the orientation of hydrocarbon chains and their confinement to an upright position (Fig. 6). This is reflected by a steep rise of the surface pressure observed with CnCONH-) -CD, DMPC and DPPC molecules in the range of molecular areas immediately beyond their respective LE-LC transitions (Figs. 4 and 5).

Box was opened when the very connection between these two extremes was hidden under the inorganic and organic roughly classification of the chemical compounds. Despite the efforts of star chemist as Kekule (1857, 1858), Couper (1858), Butlerov (1861), van t Hoff (1874), Le Bel (1874) or Werner (1893) in the second part of the nineteenth century to elucidate the structural constitution of molecules on conceptual groimds, the history of chemical bonding remains with the concept of valence as another mysterious benchmark of the nature s mode of action.
