Quantum Chemistry The Development of Ab Initio Methods in Molecular Electronic Structure Theory

This guide is guaranteed to prove of keen interest to the broad spectrum of experimental chemists who use electronic structure theory to assist in the interpretation of their laboratory findings. For each of 150 landmark papers in ab initio molecular electronic structure methods, the author provides a lucid commentary. The primary focus is methodology, rather than the examination of particular chemical problems. The selected papers present important methods and illustrate their effectiveness in predicting a variety of chemical phenomena. 1984 edition.
