Direct Observation of Molecular Orbitals Using Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction

The physical properties of molecular crystals are governed by the frontier orbitals of molecules. A molecular orbital, which is formed by superposing the atomic orbitals of constituent elements, has complicated degrees of freedom in the crystal because of the influence of electron correlation and cr...
