The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Electronic Structure of
Polymers and Molecular Crystals" was held at the Facultes Universi
taires de Namur (F.U.N.) from September 1st till September 14th,
1974. We wish to express our appreciation to the NATO Scientific
Affairs Division whose generous support made this Institute
possible and to the Facultes Universitaires de Namur and the
Societe Chimique de Belgique which provided fellowships and travel
grants to a number of students. This volume contains the main
lectures about the basic principles of the field and about
different recent developments of the theory of the electronic
structure of polymers and molecular crystals. The school started
with the presentation of the basic SCF-LCAO theory of the
electronic structure of periodic polymers and molecular crystals
(contributions by Ladik, Andre & Delhalle) showing how a
combination of quantum chemical and solid state physical methods
can provide band structures for these systems. The numerical
aspects of these calculations were also discussed. Lectures by
Mahan have shown how optical properties of molecular crystals can
be interpreted on the basis of the exciton theory. Little has
reviewed the present status of the hypothesis about excitonic
superconductivity and the different approaches to synthesize a
superconductive polymer. McCubbin in his first series of lectures
has given a very precise group theoretical treatment of the
symmetry properties of polymers. Atkins' lectures have covered both
the theoretical aspects of X-ray structure determination and its
application to different polymers."
