Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

10S: Arrange An introduction to the quantum mechanics of molecular systems. Approximate methods for calculating the electronic structure of molecules are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on molecular orbital methods at the empirical, semi-empirical, and ab-initio levels. Evaluation of such methods for studies of molecular geometry, conformational problems, thermochemical data, and spectroscopic parameters is presented. Other topics considered include the electronic structure of hydrogen bonded systems and of excited states. Methods which include the effects of electron correlation are briefly outlined. Prerequisite: Chemistry 72 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
