Pm. Zorkii et al., THE NOTION OF STRUCTURE IN MODERN CHEMISTRY .1. LEVELS AND ASPECTS OFMODELING AND DESCRIPTION, Journal of structural chemistry, 35(2), 1994, pp. 256-259
Basic approaches to structure description and modeling for various ato
mic and molecular objects (molecules, crystals, liquid crystals, and l
iquids) are considered on a unified basis. The structure is discussed
topologically and geometrically, both in static and dynamic aspects (d
ynamic characteristics are included in structure description). Local,
total, and intermediate levels of description are established.
