This volume presents the contributions delivered at the
"Josef-Loschmidt-Sympo sium," which took place in Vienna, June
25-27, 1995. The symposium was arranged to honor Josef Loschmidt
one hundred years after his death (8 July 1895), to evaluate the
sig nificance of his contributions to chemistry and physics from a
modem point of view and to trace the development of scientific
fields in which he had done pioneering work. Loschmidt is widely
known for the first calculation of the size of molecules (1865/66),
which also led to values for the number of molecules in unit gas
volume and for the mass of molecules. With critical analyses of
problems in statistical physics he made important contributions to
the development of that field, "Loschmidt's paradoxon" continuing
to be a point of departure for present day studies and discussions.
For decades there was little awareness that Loschmidt was a pioneer
in organic struc tural chemistry. Only in recent years has
Loschmidt's first scientific publication "Chemis che Studien I",
published in 1861, become more widely known and it is now
recognized that with his ideas on the structure of organic
molecules he was greatly ahead of the chemists of that time. The
papers in these proceedings are arranged in three sections: l.
Organic structural chemistry (Chapters 1-12). 2. Physics and
physical chemistry (Chapters 13-26). 3. Loschmidt's biography,
Loschmidt's world (Chapters 27-33).
