Overview

The biggest change in the years since the first edition is the proliferation of computational chemistry programs that calculate molecular properties. McQuarrie presents step-by-step SCF calculations of a helium atom and a hydrogen molecule, in addition to including the Hartree-Fock method and post-Hartree-Fock methods.

McQuarrie's Quantum Chemistry 2e offers students a superb introduction to quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry. The second edition is loaded with clear and methodical explanations, and a broad array of worthwhile problems. The new material on electronic structure theory and computation is a great addition and really helps students see what going on inside the black box of modern molecular modeling tools. --Alan Shusterman, Reed College McQuarrie's 2nd edition Quantum Chemistry is outstanding. Students will find that he has integrated the right level of math, physics, chemistry and problems into a single upper undergraduate/graduate level quantum and spectroscopy textbook. --Jeffry D. Madura, Duquesne University This new edition (2008) expands on the excellent first edition by McQuarrie. This is a very clear and well-organized presentation and development of quantum chemistry of atoms and molecules...Strongly suggested for acquisition. Highly recommended. --Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
