这篇综述是过去八年来《物理化学年鉴》（1）中关于分子晶体光学性质的第三篇综述。另外两个评论（2）在这同一类型的主题，但略有不同的重点，最近出现在文献中。除了这些评论文章，其他最近的论文强烈推荐给读者。诺克斯的书（3），例如，提出了一个更广泛的介绍激子理论和实践比这篇评论试图做。对于那些对统一方法感兴趣的读者，不仅对有机晶体中的Frenkel激子问题，而且对其他种类晶体中的其他种类激子也感兴趣，强烈推荐诺克斯的书作为起点。卡拉威的书中对空间群理论和时间反演对称适用于一般能带问题的许多重要方面进行了简明而清晰的讨论。这类信息的其他良好来源是科斯特的经典论文（5）和丁卡姆（6）和马里奥（7）的应用群论书籍。克雷格和沃尔姆斯利（8）概述了基本的理论材料neces必要的理解在这篇评论中提出的主题。达维多夫最近发表的一篇论文（9）纠正、澄清并扩展了达维多夫自己关于分子激子问题的经典工作。由于该出版物的存在，描述达维多夫早期工作的俄文原版书（10）及其后来的英文译本（11）现在更重视其历史内容和参考书目，而不是作为现代分子激子理论研究的来源。自从Hochstrasser的评论以来，大量新的实验和理论技术被引入，导致了分子激子理论的许多重大进展。这一领域比1966年更加完善，其范围也更加广泛。近年来，该领域也因其部分转移而具有新的意义。
This review is the third in the Annual Reviews of Physical Chemistry (1) during the past eight years that treats the optical properties of molecular crystals. Two other reviews (2) on this same type of subject matter, but with slightly different emphasis, have appeared recently in the literature. Besides these review articles, other recent treatises are strongly recommended to the reader. Knox's book (3) , for example, presents a much broader presentation of exciton theory and practice than this review attempts to do. For those readers who are interested in a unified approach, not just to the Frenkel exciton problem in organic crystals, but also to other kinds of excitons in other kinds of crystals, Knox's book is strongly recommended as a starting point. A condensed but rather clear discussion of many of the important aspects of space group theory and time reversal symmetry as they apply to the general energy band problem is to be found in the book by Callaway (4) . Other good sources for this type of information are the classic paper by Koster (5) and the books on applied group theory by Tinkham (6) and Mariot (7) . Craig & Walmsley (8) outline the fundamental theoretical material neces sary for an understanding of the subject matter presented in this review. A fairly recent paper by Davydov (9) corrects, clarifies, and extends Davydov's own classical work on the molecular exciton problem. Because of the exist ence of this publication, the original book in Russian ( 10) and its later English translation ( 1 1 ) , which describes Davydov's early work, are now to be valued more for their historical content and bibliographies than as a source for study of modern molecular exciton theory. Since Hochstrasser's review, a large number of new experimental and theoretical techniques have been introduced leading to many significant advances in molecular exciton theory. The field is a much more polished one than it was in 1966, and its scope is considerably broader. The field too has taken on new significance in recent years because of the partial shift of
