Boggs. The central theme of the Symposium is the discussion of the fimdamental problems in molecular structural studies by electron diffraction, spectroscopy and other techniques including ab initio calculations. The symposium has been held every other year since 1966, with increasing numbers of participants and reports. 

Equilibrium symmetry is sometimes deduced by electron diffraction. Spectroscopy is often a better source of experimental information on symmetry. In other cases, where symmetry is simply assumed, explicit remarks are made to this effect borderline cases are often encoimtered, however. For example electron diffraction data are often found to be "consistent" or "conqratible" with a model of certain symmetry.
