Description
This volume is devoted to the various aspects of theoretical organic chemistry. In the nineteenth century, organic chemistry was primarily
an experimental, empirical science. Throughout the twentieth century, the emphasis has been continually shifting to a more theoretical
approach. Today, theoretical organic chemistry is a distinct area of research, with strong links to theoretical physical chemistry, quantum
chemistry, computational chemistry, and physical organic chemistry.
The objective in this volume has been to provide a cross-section
of a number of interesting topics in theoretical organic chemistry, starting with a detailed account of the historical development of
this discipline and including topics devoted to quantum chemistry, physical properties of organic compounds, their reactivity, their
biological activity, and their excited-state properties.

Audience:
For both theoretical/computational chemists and experimentalists in universities, industry and government institutions.
