Handbook of Electronic Structure Theory provides a much-needed learning resource that collects and demonstrates the various key methods involved in electronic structure theory, the feasibility and reliability of electronic structure calculations and their applications using computational chemistry, with a particular focus on the most modern and recent problems which are poorly covered in existing, largely outdated book literature. This handbook is designed with early career researcher learning in mind by aiming to provide a careful, structured, coherent, measured, and incremental presentation of the subject matter as well as appropriate problems and worked tutorial examples. Elements like summary boxes, worked examples, and downloadable data sets make this a holistic guide to the topic for learners from different backgrounds who require a deeper understanding of electronic structure theory.Part I one of the book focuses on the critical core theories, before Part II moves on to some of the most important recent developments and their potential future directions, including key topics such as the electronic excited states and the harnessing of machine learning. Finally, Part III then collects a range of key case study examples of applications such as for biomolecules, in spectroscopy, or for use in catalysis amongst others.Handbook of Electronic Structure Theory is written primarily for masters, PhD, and postdoctoral students in theoretical and computational chemistry as well as experimental researchers wishing to apply quantum chemical methods in a critical way. The book will also have significant relevance to those studying and teaching in the adjacent fields of computational physics, materials science, and astrochemistry, who are making use of electronic structure methods. It is also likely to be of interest to chemists working on designing new materials and compounds targeting industrial and environmental applications such as catalysis, energy harvesting or green chemistry.

Computational Chemistry for Experimentalists

1st Edition

Computational chemistry is becoming an essential component of the experimental chemist’s toolkit. Computational simulations are now routinely included in experimental reports of reaction mechanisms, catalysis, NMR structure assignments, photochemistry emission, and more. Chemists at a broad range of institutions can now access high-performance computing hardware and open source and commercial software. Because of this, training is the most significant barrier to broad adoption of computational chemistry. While there are many very good training resources available to computational chemistry specialists, few resources support the nonspecialist. Computational Chemistry for Experimentalists: A Nonspecialist's Guide to Practical and Predictive Simulations is designed to lower this barrier. The text builds on the core chemical concepts of molecular structure, bonding, hybridization, and reactivity, transforming this core knowledge into a working knowledge of computational chemistry. These concepts are familiar to all chemists regardless of specialization. A modular structure is utilized to aid understanding; six core modules provide the basics of electronic structure theory and molecular dynamics. Ten experimental modules give details on simulating specific experimental techniques of interest to specific readers: reaction mechanisms, proton NMR, UV/vis, band structures, XPS, organometallic chemistry, and more. Each module is paired with online video tutorials, demonstrating the basic ideas using specific open-source & commercial software packages. Continued updating of these video tutorials provides a rich source of real-world-hands-on training materials complementing the text. The book provides straightforward, project-based introductions to computational chemistry, designed to build on the core chemical concepts shared by the target audience, aim to be a valuable contribution to the chemical literature. This book is written for chemists with a good grounding in organic and general chemistry who are at emerging research institutions and small and medium-sized businesses and seeking to incorporate computation into their research but whom are not primarily computational chemists. This includes mid-career chemistry professionals, as well as research teams including undergraduate, graduate, and early-career chemists.

Introduction to Computational Chemistry provides a foundational, introductory overview of this critical and important field designed to give students a clear and supportive pathway. It is intended to be a non-mathematics heavy introduction to the methods used in computational chemistry, together with information about how HPC-style computers are set up and utilized for performing calculations. It also provides novel insight into the computational chemist mentality: sometimes, the way computational chemists operate can seem strange to someone not yet immersed in the field. The book starts with a basic discussion of computer functionality through operating systems, system administration, and programming followed by a look at the key computational methods for electronic structure methods and molecular mechanics, hybrid methods, and solid-state materials. For each subject, essential non-mathematical information is first provided so that the reader can immediately begin to effectively use computational chemistry software. This introductory material is followed by a section that provides more theoretical information and then references for the reader wishing to go much deeper. Often this type of book overloads the reader with too much information; this one is set up in such a way as to quickly present essential information regarding the fundamental approaches and applications of computational chemistry to beginners in a down to earth and uncluttered manner, while providing the means and resources for more advanced readers to explore further. Introduction to Computational Chemistry is written primarily for upper level undergraduate and entry level graduate students completely new to the field of computational chemistry, with little background knowledge; the book is well suited to entry level courses at this level.

Understanding Molecular Simulation explains molecular simulation from a chemical-physics and statistical-mechanic... perspective. It highlights how physical concepts are used to develop better algorithms and expand the range of applicability of simulations. Understanding Molecular Simulation is equally relevant for those who develop new code and those who use existing packages. Both groups are continuously confronted with the question of which computational technique best suits a given application. Understanding Molecular Simulation provides readers with the foundational knowledge they need to learn about, select and apply the most appropriate of these tools to their own work. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes, and their practical use is shown via case studies presented throughout the text. Since the second edition’s publication, the simulation world has expanded significantly: existing techniques have continued to develop, and new ones have emerged, opening up novel application areas. This new edition aims to describe these new developments without becoming exhaustive; examples are included that highlight current uses, and several new examples have been added to illustrate recent applications. Examples, case studies, questions, and downloadable algorithms are also included to support learning. No prior knowledge of computer simulation is assumed.
