Local properties are central in our<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing of chemistry<br />

From Hammett constants, to Mulliken<br />

charges to local spins, local properties<br />

underpin structure-function relationships<br />

in chemistry.<br />

For new types of physical measurements,<br />

like passing current through a molecule,<br />

we need new local descriptions.<br />

If we can underst<strong>and</strong> how different<br />

components interact in a complex system,<br />

maybe we can design interesting devices<br />
