Inagaki S. (ed.) Orbitals in Chemistry

Cambridge University Press, 2002. - 352 p. This text presents a rigorous mathematical account of the principles of quantum mechanics, in particular as applied to chemistry and chemical physics. Applications are used as illustrations of the basic theory. The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory, although it is assumed that the reader has been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics as part of an undergraduate physical chem...

Wiley, 2010. - 529 p. - Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010. The annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and authors' commitment to pioneering works of research and for contributing to the conception, production, and design of landmark works in their fields.

Wiley, 2009. - 378 p. - Acknowledging the very best in professional and scholarly publishing, the annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and authors' commitment to pioneering works of research and for contributing to the conception, production, and design of landmark works in their fields. Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals, Wiley are pleased to congratulate Professor Ian Fleming, winner of the PROSE Award in Chem...

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002. - 422 p. Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics is made at different rates in these various research fields. The aim of this book series is to provide timely and in-depth coverage of selected topics and broad-ranging yet detailed analysis of contemporary theories and their applications. The series will be of primary interest to those whose research is directly concerned with the development and application...

Wibe Albert de Jong. 1997. 159 p. Part of the phenomena in the chemistry and physics of atoms and molecules find their origin in the finite speed of light and need to be described in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics. Relativity reveals itself for instance in the fine details of spectra of molecules and atoms and can nowadays be accessed by very accurate measurements, even for the elements in the upper region of the periodic system...

2nd edition. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH. 2001. - 293 p. A full appreciation of DFT is only gained through an understanding of how the theory, in spite of working with an orbital model and a single determinantal wave function for a model system of noninteracting electrons, still achieves to incorporate electron correlation. The authors justly put emphasis on the pictorial approach, by way of Fermi and Coulomb correlation holes, to understanding exchang...

5th Ed., Brooklyn, New York: Prentice Hall, 1999. - 739 p. Chemistry Department Brooklyn College City University of New York Contents: The Schr?dinger equation The particle in a box Operators The harmonic oscillator Angular momentum The hydrogen atom Theorems of quantum mechanics The variation method Perturbation theory Electron spin and the Pauli principle Many-electron atoms Molecular symmetry Electronic structure of diatomic molecules The vir...

3rd edition. Elsevier Academic Press, 2006 - 703 p. This book is written for courses taught at the first-year graduate/senior undergraduate levels, which accounts for its implicit assumption that many readers will be relatively unfamiliar with much of the mathematics and physics underlying the subject. Our experience over the years has supported this assumption; many chemistry majors are exposed to the requisite mathematics and physics, yet arriv...

Elsevier Science, 2007, 1086 pages Ideas of Quantum Chemistry shows how quantum mechanics is applied to chemistry to give it a theoretical foundation. The structure of the book (a TREE-form) emphasizes the logical relationships between various topics, facts and methods. It shows the reader which parts of the text are needed for understanding specific aspects of the subject matter. Interspersed throughout the text are short biographies of key sc...

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...
