Complex formation in melts and in relation to solid state chemistry

The dependence of Raman and IR spectra on the structures of the scattering molecular fragments is studied. Many substances react in ways not totally known. The elucidation of the reactions and the structures of the new complexes is the aim of this project. The determination of solid state structures by means of the Rietveld profile refinement of X-ray diffraction data for powder samples is an important aspect of the project.
