Theoretical Chemistry:
Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics
39th Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry 2003 (STC 2003)

Abstract: We provide a short review of the scientific meeting defined by the title of this article, which may at the
same time serve as pact review of the field with a substantial number of references to recent work. Exciting
new developments in experiments on high-resolution molecular spectra and their analysis as well as new theoret-
ical developments in the calculations of such spectra and the related time-independent and time-dependent quan-
tum dynamics of molecules have led to new answers but also to new questions in the fields of molecular ics,
molecular reaction dynamics, molecular chaos and statistical mechanics as well as fundamental symmetries in mo-
lecular processes. Particular stress is placed on fundamental aspects and new directions.
