structures of rather large molecules (up to 66 independent structural parameters)
from spectroscopic data.
The principal aim of this book is to bridge the gap between the different
methods, and the chapters cover the different aspects of structure determination of
an isolated molecule: quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and gas-phase electron
diffraction. Particular emphasis is put on the recent developments and on the ways
to estimate the accuracy. This book is aimed at advanced undergraduate or graduate
students and at research workers in all these fields.
The authors are grateful to Jacques Liévin for reading Chap. 2, to Alberto Lesarri
for reading Chaps. 4 and 6, to Agnès Perrin for reading Chap. 5, to Norman Craig
for reading Chap. 8, and to Jürgen Vogt for reading Chap. 10.
