Non-Covalent Interactions

Professor Dr Pavel Hobza is at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Center for Biomolecules and Complex Molecular Systems, Prague, Czech Republic. Professor Klaus Müller-Dethlefs is Chair of Chemistry and Chair of Physics, and Director of the Photon Science Institute, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Hobza and Muller-Dethlefs present a good overview of many of the theoretical and experimental considerations important to the study of the entire spectrum of non-covalent interactions...we find this monograph to be a valuable resource that will be required reading for graduate students in our laboratories for years to come. -- JACS, 2010, 132, 9512, Gregory s Tschumper and Nathan Hammer Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) - NO LONGER ACCEPTING REVIEWS
