               Note publique d'information : The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on topics of research
                     concerned with chemical structure and bonding. The scope of the series spans the entire
                     Periodic Table and addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the
                     elements. It also focuses attention on new and developing areas of modern structural
                     and theoretical chemistry such as nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed
                     molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters and supramolecular structures. Physical
                     and spectroscopic techniques used to determine, examine and model structures fall
                     within the purview of Structure and Bonding to the extent that the focus is on the
                     scientific results obtained and not on specialist information concerning the techniques
                     themselves. Issues associated with the development of bonding models and generalizations
                     that illuminate the reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also relevant.
                     The individual volumes in the series are thematic. The goal of each volume is to give
                     the reader, whether at a university or in industry, a comprehensive overview of an
                     area where new insights are emerging that are of interest to a larger scientific audience.
                     Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and
                     places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments
                     of the last 5 to 10 years should be presented using selected examples to illustrate
                     the principles discussed. A description of the physical basis of the experimental
                     techniques that have been used to provide the primary data may also be appropriate,
                     if it has not been covered in detail elsewhere. The coverage need not be exhaustive
                     in data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the new principles being
                     developed that will allow the reader, who is not a specialist in the area covered,
                     to understand the data presented. Discussion of possible future research directions
                     in the area is welcomed. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by
                     the volume editors
