Final remarks- In the experimental electron density there is valuable information about
all kind of interatomic interactions, from chemical bonds to weak van der Waals interactions.
- Experimental electron density studies focus on topics such as chemical bond properties, characterization of non-covalent interactions or crystal environment effect on molecular properties.
- Topological analysis of the electron density in the framework of the

- Topological analysis of the electron density in the framework of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules is extensively used for the interpretation of the experimental electron density.
- Electrostatic potential from the experimental electron density is extensively used for the analysis of intermolecular interactions.
- Transferability principle can be applied to increase the quality of structural information or to the estimation of electron densities in cases inaccessible to experiment.
