Hehre W.J. A Guide to Molecular Mechanics and Quantum Chemical Calculations
Wavefunction, Inc. 2003. - 796 p.
Over the span of two decades, molecular modeling has emerged as aviable and powerful approach to chemistry. Molecular mechanics calculations coupled with computer graphics are now widely used in lieu of tactile models to visualize molecular shape and quantify steric demands. Quantum chemical calculations, once a mere novelty, continue to play an ever increasing role in chemical research and teaching. They offer the real promise of being able to complement experiment as a means to uncover and explore new chemistry.
In short, no one method of calculation is likely to be ideal for all applications, and the ultimate choice of specific methods rests on a balance between accuracy and cost. This guide attempts to help chemists find that proper balance. It focuses on the underpinnings of molecular mechanics and quantum chemical methods, their relationship with chemical observables, their performance in reproducing known quantities and on the application of practical models to the investigation of molecular structure and stability and chemical reactivity and selectivity.

Wiley-VCH. 2009. 691 p. A relativistic consistent quantum-theoretical description of electronic bound states in atoms was first introduced in atomic physics as early as the late 1920s and has been pushed forward since that time. It was believed, however, that effects stemming from Einstein’s theory of relativity were of little or even no importance to chemistry. This changed in the 1970s when it was recognized by Pyykk?, Pitzer, Desclaux, Grant...
