General Information
This Commission of the International Union of Crystallography focuses on experimental and theoretical work on charge spin and momentum densities. The aim is to combine experimental techniques, theory and computations to come to a coherent understanding of electronic charge, spin and momentum densities in atoms, molecules and condensed matter. The Commission usually meets at the
- IUCr Congress and General Assembly,
- Sagamore conference, and the
- Gordon Research Conference on "Electron Distributions and Chemical Bonding"
which are held in consecutive years, and on a three-year cycle. The time format for the Gordon Research Conference on Electron Distribution and Chemical Bonding will be however changed to a two-year cycle after the next GRC to be held in 2013. There is an ongoing discussion on how to handle the ensuing problems related to the Commission's activities planning.
