[en] After a survey of appropriate theoretical formalisms, recent confrontations of theory and experiment in the areas of neutron scattering, Moessbauer spectroscopy, and positron chemistry are discussed, with major emphasis on the degree to which simple concepts of chemical bonding can be refined by complementary use of the above experimental probes and the powerful techniques of computational quantum chemistry
