Modern Quantum Chemistry

The branch of chemistry which focuses on the application of quantum mechanics in physical models is referred to as quantum chemistry. It deals with the study of ground state of individual molecules and atoms as well as the transition and excited states that occur during chemical reactions. The two major branches of quantum chemistry are experimental quantum chemistry and theoretical quantum chemistry. Experimental quantum chemistry seeks to obtain information regarding the quantization of energy on a molecular scale. It relies extensively on spectroscopy. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy are a few of the common methods used in this area. The predictions of quantum theory are calculated within the field of theoretical quantum chemistry. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of quantum chemistry. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
