Reviews of modern quantum chemistry : a celebration of the contributions of Robert G. Parr / editor, K.D. Sen.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

This important book collects together state-of-the-art reviews of diverse topics covering almost all the major areas of modern quantum chemistry. The current focus in the discipline of chemistry - synthesis, structure, reactivity and dynamics - is mainly on control . A variety of essential computational tools at the disposal of chemists have emerged from recent studies in quantum chemistry. The acceptance and application of these tools in the interfacial disciplines of the life and physical sciences continue to grow. The new era of modern quantum chemistry throws up promising potentialities fo.
