This text presents a rigorous mathematical account of the principles of quantum mechanics, in particular as applied to chemistry and chemical physics. Applications are used as illustrations of the basic theory. The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory, although it is assumed that the reader has been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics as part of an undergraduate physical chemistry or atomic physics course. Following a discussion of wave motion leading to Schrödinger's wave mechanics, the postulates of quantum mechanics are presented along with essential mathematical concepts and techniques. The postulates are rigorously applied to the harmonic oscillator, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, the variation method, perturbation theory, and nuclear motion. Modern theoretical concepts such as hermitian operators, Hilbert space, Dirac notation, and ladder operators are introduced and used throughout. This text is appropriate for beginning graduate students in chemistry, chemical physics, molecular physics and materials science.

Written for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates in all areas of chemistry, this text offers great flexibility. It is unique in that it combines both introductory and modern quantum chemistry in a single book. The introductory material is covered in less detail, allowing the instructor to extend the coverage into areas of greater importance, including introductions to molecular spectroscopy and chemical dynamics and a very thorough group of chapters on computational chemistry as applied to electronic structures. A large number of exercises, problems, and solutions, and a disk of text-related computer programs are also included, further enhancing the utility value of the text.

Written by two researchers in the field, this book is a reference to explain the principles and fundamentals in a self-contained, complete and consistent way. Much attention is paid to the didactical value, with the chapters interconnected and based on each other. From the contents: * Fundamentals * Relativistic Theory of a Free Electron: Diracï¿1⁄2s Equation * Dirac Theory of a Single Electron in a Central Potential * Many-Electron Theory I: Quantum Electrodynamics * Many-Electron Theory II: Dirac-Hartree-Fock Theory * Elimination of the Small Component * Unitary Transformation Schemes * Relativistic Density Functional Theory * Physical Observables and Molecular Properties * Interpretive Approach to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry From beginning to end, the authors deduce all the concepts and rules, such that readers are able to understand the fundamentals and principles behind the theory. Essential reading for theoretical chemists and physicists.

Quantum Mechanics for Organic Chemists is based on the author's first-year graduate course on quantum mechanics for Organic Chemistry majors. The book not only makes a gradual transition from elementary to advanced, but also tries an approach that allows students to have a more intuitive learning. The book covers concepts in quantum physics and topics such as the LCAO-MO Huckel Approach; group theory; and extensions, modifications, and applications of the Huckel approach. Also included in the book are the areas of three-dimensional treatments; polyelectron wave functions; the Slater determinant; and Pople's SCF equations. The text is recommended for graduate students of organic chemistry who would like to know more about the applications of quantum mechanics in their field. Quantum physicists who are interested in the field of organic chemistry would also find the book appealing.
