Lowe's new edition assumes little mathematical or physical sophistication and emphasizes an understanding of the techniques and results of quantum chemistry. It can serve as a primary text in quantum chemistry courses, and enables students and researchers to comprehend the current literature. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and includes numerous new exercises to facilitate self-study and solutions to selected exercises. Assumes little initial mathematical or physical sophistication, developing insights and abilities in the context of actual problems Provides thorough treatment of the simple systems basic to this subject Emphasizes UNDERSTANDING of the techniques and results of modern quantum chemistry Treats MO theory from simple Huckel through ab intio methods in current use Develops perturbation theory through the topics of orbital interaction as well as spectroscopic selection rules Presents group theory in a context of MO applications Includes qualitative MO theory of molecular structure, Walsh rules, Woodward-Hoffmann rules, frontier orbitals, and organic reactions Develops MO theory of periodic systems, with applications to organic polymers.

Quantum Chemistry

Lowe

Praised for its appealing writing style and clear pedagogy, Lowe's Quantum Chemistry is now available in its Second Edition as a text for senior undergraduate- and graduate-level chemistry students. The book assumes little mathematical or physical sophistication and emphasizes an understanding of the techniques and results of quantum chemistry, thus enabling students to comprehend much of the current chemical literature in which quantum chemical methods or concepts are used as tools. The book begins with a six-chapter introduction of standard one-dimensional systems, the hydrogen atom, many-electron atoms, and principles of quantum mechanics. It then provides thorough treatments of variation and perturbation methods, group theory, ab initio theory, Huckel and extended Huckel methods, qualitative MO theory, and MO theory of periodic systems. Chapters are completed with exercises to facilitate self-study. Solutions to selected exercises are included.PLEASE USE THIS COPY FOR PROMO PIECES AS
