STRUCTURE AND PHENOMENON RELATIONSHIPS - A THEORETICAL-STUDY

An attempt to approach structure-phenomenon relationship problems has been made through a nonstandard solution. The distances estimating the resemblance of molecular systems are considered from a universal view point. Generally, the families of sets reflecting structural features are quantitatively compared with set-theoretical representations given by phenomena. The illustrative example of diammine platinum(II) compl exes and their dipole moments have been analysed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sc ience B.V.
