The history of physics furnishes many examples of how a simple
semiem pirical method, essentially based on intuitive
considerations, may prove to be much more successful than a
rigorous theoretical approach. A pertinent example is the method of
atom-atom potentials, which treats the intermolec ular interactions
between polyatomic molecules in terms of pairwise inter actions
between their constituent atoms. Despite a few conceptual short
comings, the method provides a fairly reliable practical means of
handling, on a microscopic level, a wide range of problems that
arise in the solid-state physics and chemistry of organic
compounds. This monograph is an attempt to generalize the
experience gained in the past twenty years in interpreting the
static and dynamic properties of organic molecular solids in terms
of atom-atom potentials. It embraces nearly all aspects of the
application of the method, including an evaluation of cohesive
energies, equilibrium crystal structures, phonon spectra, ther
modynamic functions, and crystal defects. Many related topics such
as the effect of the crystal field on molecular conformation, the
determination of crystal structures from raw diffraction data, and
the problem of polymor phic transitions are also discussed. We
believe that this book will be of use to researchers in solid-state
physics, chemistry, crystallography, physical chemistry, and
polymer chem istry. It also gives us an opportunity to acknowledge
our indebtedness to those who sent us published as well as
unpublished information and sugges tions, including A.T. Amos, E.L.
Bokhenkov, H. Bonadeo, R.K. Boyd, C.P."
