Reviews in Computational Chemistry

THIS VOLUME, WHICH IS DESIGNED FOR STAND-ALONE USE IN TEACHING AND RESEARCH, FOCUSES ON QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, AN AREA OF SCIENCE THAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE THE CENTRAL CORE OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY. TUTORIALS AND REVIEWS COVER<br /> * HOW TO OBTAIN SIMPLE CHEMICAL INSIGHT AND CONCEPTS FROM DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY CALCULATIONS,<br /> * HOW TO MODEL PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EXCITED STATES, AND<br /> * HOW TO COMPUTE ENTHALPIES OF FORMATION OF MOLECULES.<br /> <br /> A FOURTH CHAPTER TRACES CANADIAN RESEARCH IN THE EVOLUTION OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY. ALSO INCLUDED WITH THIS VOLUME IS A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO QCPE.FROM REVIEWS OF THE SERIES<br /> <br /> “Reviews in Computational Chemistry proves itself an invaluable resource to the computational chemist. This series has a place in every computational chemist’s library.”-Journal of the American Chemical Society
