This textbook introduces the perturbation molecular orbital (PMO)
th, eory of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry encompasses the
largest body offactual information of any of the major divisions of
science. The sheer bulk of the subject matter makes many demands on
any theory that attempts to systematize it. Time has shown that the
PMO method meets these demands admirably. The PMO method can
provide practicing chemists with both a pictorial description of
bonding and qualitative theoretical results that are well founded
in more sophisticated treatments. The only requirements for use of
the theory are high school algebra and a pencil and paper. The
treatment described in this book is by no means new. Indeed, it was
developed as a complete theory of organic chemistry more than
twenty years ago. Although it was demonstrably superior to
resonance theory and no more complicated to use, it escaped notice
for two very simple reasons. First, the original papers describing
it were very condensed, perhaps even obscure, and contained few if
any examples. Second, for various reasons, no general account
appeared in book form until 1969, * and this was still relatively
inaccessible, being in the form of a monograph where molecular
orbital (MO) theory was treated mainly at a much more sophisticated
level. The generality of the PMO method is illustrated by the fact
that all the new developments over the last two decades can be
accommodated in i
