Annual Reports on Computaional Chemistry, Volume 20 highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international board of authors.Provides the authority and expertise of leading contributors from an international board of authorsPresents the latest release in the Annual Report in Computational Chemistry series

Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry, Volume 21 is a comprehensive and authoritative series that provides an in-depth overview of the latest advancements and trends in the field of computational chemistry. Each volume in this series is meticulously curated by leading experts and encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from fundamental theoretical methods to cutting-edge applications in various branches of chemistry and related disciplines. Chapters in this new release include Multi-state density functional theory, Molecular simulations for environmental science, and IR spectroscopy of PAHs for astrochemistry or reactions of inorganic oxides for astrochemistry.State-of-the-Art Reviews: Insightful reviews of current methodologies, techniques, and computational tools that are shaping the future of chemical researchInnovative Applications: Exploration of how computational chemistry is being applied to solve complex problems in drug discovery, materials science, environmental chemistry, and moreEmerging Trends: Discussions on emerging trends and future directions in computational chemistry, providing readers with a glimpse into the next wave of scientific innovation

The field of quantum chemistry has grown so immensely that the importance of some of the earliest work and the earliest pioneers of quantum chemistry is unfamiliar to many of today's youngest scientists in the field. Thus, this book is an attempt to preserve some of the very valuable, early history of quantum chemistry, providing the reader with not only a perspective of the science, but a perspective of the early pioneers themselves, some of whom were quiteinteresting characters. The symposium on which this book is based came about because one of the co-editors (ETS) came to a conviction that the contributions such as those by George Wheland to quantum chemistry and Otto Schmidt to free electron theory should be better appreciated and known. He organized asymposium in which quantum chemistry pioneers, both those celebrated by everyone and those seemingly overlooked by posterity, would be recognized. While this volume is certainly not a history of quantum chemistry, it does cover many highlights over a period of about sixty years. This volume consists of chapters based upon ten of the presentations at the symposium "Pioneers of Quantum Chemistry" held March 28, 2011, at the 241st ACS National Meeting in Anaheim, CA.

In this Festschrift celebrating the career of Thom H. Dunning, Jr., selected researchers in theoretical chemistry present research highlights on major developments in the field. Originally published in the journal Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, these outstanding contributions are now available in a hardcover print format, as well as a special electronic edition. This volume provides valuable content for all researchers in theoretical chemistry and will especially benefit those research groups and libraries with limited access to the journal.
