Abstract
Recent advances in both first principles computational methodologies for co mplex systems and qualitative understanding of the electronic structure of solids now make a real dialogue between theoreticians and experimentalists possible. We discuss how this situation can lead to a fruitful interplay in inorganic solid state chemistry, considering selected examples, such as th e structure of gold nanoclusters and nanowires, the absorption of atoms and molecules and growth of thin films on silicon surfaces, understanding the development of some structural modulations in low-dimensional transition me tal oxides and bronzes, and the control of the transport properties of hybr id organic-inorganic charge transfer molecular solids.
