This book provides non-specialists with a basic understanding ofthe
underlying concepts of quantum chemistry. It is both a text for
second or third-year undergraduates and a reference for researchers
who need a quick introduction or refresher. All chemists and many
biochemists, materials scientists, engineers, and physicists
routinely user spectroscopic measurements and electronic structure
computations in their work. The emphasis of Quantum Chemistry on
explaining ideas rather than enumerating facts or presenting
procedural details makes this an excellent foundation
text/reference. The keystone is laid in the first two chapters
which deal with molecular symmetry and the postulates of quantum
mechanics, respectively. Symmetry is woven through the narrative of
the next three chapters dealing with simple models of
translational, rotational, and vibrational motion that underlie
molecular spectroscopy and statistical thermodynamics. The next two
chapters deal with the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom
and hydrogen molecule ion, respectively. Having been armed with a
basic knowledge of these prototypical systems, the reader is ready
to learn, in the next chapter, the fundamental ideas used to deal
with the complexities of many-electron atoms and molecules. These
somewhat abstract ideas are illustrated with the venerable Huckel
model of planar hydrocarbons in the penultimate chapter. The book
concludes with an explanation of the bare minimum of technical
choices that must be made to do meaningful electronic structure
computations using quantum chemistry software packages.
