Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry (Topics in Physical Chemistry)

Written for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates in all areas of chemistry, this text offers great flexibility. It is unique in that it combines both introductory and modern quantum chemistry in a single book. The introductory material is covered in less detail, allowing the instructor to extend the coverage into areas of greater importance, including introductions to molecular spectroscopy and chemical dynamics and a very thorough group of chapters on computational chemistry as applied to electronic structures. A large number of exercises, problems, and solutions, and a disk of text-related computer programs are also included, further enhancing the utility value of the text.
