This series, Finite Systems and Multiparticle Dynamics, is intended to provide timely reviews of current research topics, written in a style sufficiently pedagogic so as to allow a nonexpert to grasp the underlying ideas as well as understand technical details. The series is an outgrowth of our involvement with three interdis ciplinary activities, namely, those arising from the American Physical Society's Topical Group on Few Body Systems and Multiparticle Dynam ics, the series of Gordon Research Conferences first known by the title "Few Body Problems in Chemistry and Physics" and later...

Presenting concepts, theory, and computational approaches, Molecular Interactions covers long, intermediate, and short range interactions of molecules in their ground electronic state, interactions of electronically excited species, interactions of extended systems (such as chains, clusters and surfaces), and interactions in liquids and solids. This modern, comprehensive treatment of intermolecular forces acquaints advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students as well as researchers with orders of magnitude of properties, useful models, and the theory and computational aspects...
