The determination of molecular structure is the simplest application of molecular modelling. Most liquid crystal molecules are found to have a number of conformations which are thermally accessible at room temperature. 

While experiment and theory have made tremendous advances over the past few decades in elucidating the molecular processes and transformations that occur over ideal single-crystal surfaces, the application to aqueous phase catalytic systems has been quite limited owing to the challenges associated with following the stmcture and dynamics of the solution phase over metal substrates. Even in the case of a submersed ideal single-crystal surface, there are a number of important issues that have obscured our ability to elucidate the important surface intermediates and follow the elementary physicochemical surface processes. The ability to spectroscopically isolate and resolve reaction intermediates at the aqueous/metal interface has made it difficult to experimentally estabhsh the surface chemistry. In addition, theoretical advances and CPU limitations have restricted ab initio efforts to very small and idealized model systems. 

The application of the angular overlap method to MXg chromophores of trigonal bipyramidal and square p3u-amidal stereochemistry leads to the patterns of Fig. 2 for the energies of the antibonding "d molecular orbitals (dc). The crystal field model leads to a similar pattern. 

The choice of topics is largely governed by the author s interests. Following a brief introduction the crystal field model is described non-mathematically in chapter 2. This treatment is extended to chapter 3, which outlines the theory of crystal field spectra of transition elements. Chapter 4 describes the information that can be obtained from measurements of absorption spectra of minerals, and chapter 5 describes the electronic spectra of suites of common, rock-forming silicates. The crystal chemistry of transition metal compounds and minerals is reviewed in chapter 6, while chapter 7 discusses thermodynamic properties of minerals using data derived from the spectra in chapter 5. Applications of crystal field theory to the distribution of transition elements in the crust are described in chapter 8, and properties of the mantle are considered in chapter 9. The final chapter is devoted to a brief outline of the molecular orbital theory, which is used to interpret some aspects of the sulphide mineralogy of transition elements.
