Machine learning and deep learning have now been widely used in cheminformatics, and programming skills are becoming a must for most chemists. Python has become an invaluable and highly popular open-source programming language that is ideally suited for data analysis and artificial intelligence in the field. Cheminformatics with Python provides a ground-up, practical introduction that will help the reader make effective use of the software, demonstrating how to use Python to write efficient cheminformatics programs and how to apply it to solve practical chemical problems. The book contains four main parts: programming, data, methods, and applications. In the programming section, a brief introduction to Python language and related scientific computing, cheminformatics, machine learning, and deep learning packages is provided, building knowledge from the ground up. In the data section, a systematic study of the representation of instrumental data, representation of molecular structures, and common chemical databases is given. In the methods section, analytical signal processing, multivariate calibration, multivariate resolution, classical machine learning, and deep learning methods are introduced in detail. The application section then looks at case studies of successful applications of cheminformatics in analytical chemistry, metabolomics, drug discovery, materials science, and other research areas which are demonstrated in detail. Finally, in the supporting appendix section, the necessary mathematical, statistical, and information theory-related theories in the main text are provided, and practical tips such as code editors and source code management are also included. Online coding materials on GitHub and an individual Jupyter notebook for each chapter further support practical learning. Cheminformatics with Python is written primarily for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and professors primarily in the field of computational and analytical chemistry who are harnessing AI, as well as those in medicinal and biochemistry or materials science applying cheminformatics in drug discovery, materials design, or metabolomics research.

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.
