Special Sessions
Several special mini-symposia are planned for this year's
meeting. Robert Curl, Rice University, and Marilyn
Jacox, NIST; are organizing a session entitled "New Directions in
Matrix Isolation Spectroscopy." This symposium will cover both new
matrix materials, particularly hydrogen and also new approaches to
matrix spectroscopy. Invited speakers will include: Takeshi
Oka, University of Chicago; Kohzo Hakuta, Institute for
Laser Science, Tokyo; John P. Maier, University of Basel;
Markku Rasanen, University of Helsinki; and William M. Weltner,
University of Florida. A
second mini-symposium is being organized by Robert Field, MIT,
and Jean-Marie Flaud, Université Paris on the subject of
"Novel Patterns in Vibration-Rotation Spectra." The symposium will
cover the spectral effects caused by the evolution of normal to local
modes and the effects generated by the accessibility of bond
rearrangement or isomerization. Invited speakers for this
mini-symposium include: Lauri Halonen, University of Helsinki;
Jean-Marie Flaud, Université Paris; Haruki Ishikawa,
Tohoku University; and Reinhard Schinke, Max-Planck-Institüt,
Göttingen. A session on the electronic theory of weakly bound
molecules has been organized by, Russell Pitzer, Ohio State
University with the invited speaker being Edward
F. Hayes, Ohio State University.
