The holding of the 8th Jerusalem Symposium was saddened by the sudden death of Professor Ernst D. Bergmann at the very eve of this meeting. With him disappeared one of the leading world scientists in the field of physical chemistry and biochemistry. His innumerable friends and admirers over the whole world mourn him profoundly. All those who knew him personally and among them the participants in the previous Jerusalem Symposia will remember for ever the exceptional qualities of the scientist and the unusual human warmth of the man. With Ernst D. Bergmann the state of Israel lost one of the...

The 12th JerusaLem'Symposium was devoted to the exciting sub- ject of CataLysis in Chemistry and Biochemistry. As usuaL in these Sym- posia Theory and Experiment have been considered simuLtaneousLy in dis- cussions> invoLving renowned experts from many countries. We wish to thank aLL those who made this meeting possibLe and contributed to its success: the Baron de RothschiLd whose continuous generosity is at the source of these gatherings, the IsraeL Academy of Sciences and Humanities which offers us the cordiaL hospitaLity of its impressive and beautifuL buiLding and gardens and the Hebrew...

The 14th Jerusalem Symposium continued the tradition of the pleasant and exciting meetings which once a year gather distinguished scientists, the world's most renowned experts in specific fields of quantum chemistry and biochemistry, in the impressive surroundings of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The subject discussed this year - Intermolecular forces - is one of the utmost interest for all molecular sciences. I wish to thank all those who made this meeting possible and contributed toits success: the Baron Edmond de Rothschild whose continuous generosity guarantees the...

The third and last volume of this treatise IS concerned with important applications of the quantum~theory of chemical reactions to chemisorption, catalysis and biochemical reactions. The book begins with an important paper devoted to the theoretical background of heterogeneous catalysis. It is followed by two papers showing typical applications of wave mechanics to the analysis of chemisorption. Catalysed gas-solid reactions are chosen to illustrate gas, organic solid state reaction and some aspects of the mechanism of the FISCHER-TROPSCH synthesis are presented. The second part of the book...

The Twenty Fourth Jerusalem Symposium reflected the high standards of these distinguished scientific meetings, which convene once a year at the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Jerusalem to discuss a specific topic in the broad area of quantum chemistry and biochemistry. The topic at this year's Jerusalem Symposium was mode selective chemistry, which constitutes a truly interdisciplinary subject of central interest in the areas of chemical physics, photochemistry and photobiology. The main theme of the Symposium was built around the exploration of the possibility and conditions...

The Symposium on "Transport through Membranes: Carriers. Channels and Pumps" Inaugurates the third decade of the Jerusalem Symposia. It enlarges substantially their conceptual scope by Introducing a new subject not treated there previously. In fact. It Is a topic particularly well suited for the general object of these International meetings which Is to reassemble In an exhaustive Interdisciplinary discussion chemists. physicists and biologists. theoreticians and experimentalists. The main theme of the Symposium was the presentation and evaluation of the most up-to-date data on the structural...

The 25th Jerusalem Symposium represents a most significant highlight in the development and history of these meetings. Living within the decimal system we have celebrated with much pleasure the lath and the 20th Jerusalem Symposia. With this one we experience a feeling of particular satisfaction because 25 years is different from, is more than, two decades and a half. It is a quarter of a century. It seems thus as if we have changed the dimension of our endeavour. In no way do we loose the sense of modesty with respect to the significance of these meetings. For the organizers, however, they...

COMPARED WITH the first five Jerusalem Symposia on Quantum Chemistry and Biochem- istry, this sixth Symposium represents a step into a new and largely uncharted area: that of Chemical and Biochemical Reactivity. While the previous Symposia dealt principally with the 'static' data, describing molecules-even large ones-of chemical and biological in- terest, the present Symposium attempts to deal with 'dynamic' phenomena and the factors which determine their course. The complexities of these systems and the ensuing theoreti- cal (and experimental) difficulties are, obviously, much more...
