Abstract

The so-called method of atom-atom potentials widely applied for solving the problems on spatial structure of complex molecular systems and molecular crystals is believed to have no quantum-mechanical basis. This view is demonstrated to be erroneous and that due regard is formed naturally, if one turns to matrix description of quantum problems and analyzes the physical meaning of corresponding matrix elements.
