By far the most common methods of studying aqueous interfaces by simulations are the Metropolis Monte Carlo (MC) technique and the classical molecular dynamics (MD) techniques. They will not be described here in detail, because several excellent textbooks and proceedings volumes (e.g., [2-8]) on the subject are available. In brief, the stochastic MC technique generates microscopic configurations of the system in the canonical (NYT) ensemble the deterministic MD method solves Newton s equations of motion and generates a time-correlated sequence of configurations in the microcanonical (NVE) ensemble. Structural and thermodynamic properties are accessible by both methods the MD method provides additional information about the microscopic dynamics of the system. 

Further restrictions to the scope of the present article concern certain molecules which can in one or more of their canonical forms be represented as carbenes, e.g. carbon monoxide such stable molecules, which do not normally show carbenoid reactivity, will not be considered. Nor will there be any discussion of so-called transition metal-carbene complexes (see, for example, Fischer and Maasbol, 1964 Mills and Redhouse, 1968 Fischer and Riedel, 1968). Carbenes in these complexes appear to be analogous to carbon monoxide in transition-metal carbonyls. Carbenoid reactivity has been observed only in the case of certain iridium (Mango and Dvoretzky, 1966) and iron complexes (Jolly and Pettit, 1966), but detailed examination of the nature of the actual reactive intermediate, that is to say, whether the complexes react as such or first decompose to give free carbenes, has not yet been reported. A chromium-carbene complex has been suggested as a transient intermediate in the reduction of gfem-dihalides by chromium(II) sulphate because of structural effects on the reaction rate and because of the structure of the reaction products, particularly in the presence of unsaturated compounds (Castro and Kray, 1966). The subject of carbene-metal complexes reappears in Section IIIB. 

Controlled clinical trials are not inevitably scientific. They may meet the canons of science, or they may not, depending on their structure and on how they are carried out. But even if they are performed to a high standard, they still do not by themselves prove anything. Their data must be scientifically interpreted—that is, subjected to reasoned analysis. 

The optical spectra of polyaniline have been the subject of intensive study to identily various types of transition occurring in polyaniline. Linschitz et al. [163] have studied the model compound A/-A/ -diphenyI-I-4-phenylene-dimine which can exist in two canonical forms, and structurally it is similar to polyaniline. 

The first step of the analysis consists in the diagonalization of the matrix that represents the hole (eqn (10)) in appropriate basis (usually canonical orbitals). This primary diagonalization yields the set of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions that are, in the second step subjected to the isopycnic transformation. Its aim is to transform the primary eigenvectors, that are usually delocalized over the nearest neighborhood of the reference basin, into the set of more localized functions whose resemblance with localized orbitals often allows the association with classical concepts of bonds, lone pairs etc., in terms of which chemists are used to classify the molecular structures.
