Theoretical Chemistry I Quantum Mechanics

This is an all-inclusive PDF note on an introduction to quantum mechanics in theoretical chemistry. Major concepts introduced are wave mechanics, quantum dynamics, and angular momentum. The material under study includes approximation methods and symmetry in quantum mechanics, which forms the key for molecular behavior. The theory of chemical bonding, scattering theory, and relativistic quantum mechanics were also considered. This note provides students with a comprehensive exposure to the role that quantum mechanics plays in the explanation of chemical phenomena and provides a foundation for more sophisticated theoretical studies in chemistry.

Theoretical Chemistry by Jack Simons

It describes in detail the role of theory in chemistry. Key concepts covered include chemical kinetics, oxidation numbers, electronegativity, and application of various theoretical methods like quantum dynamics and classical Newtonian dynamics. This note also underlines the importance of an interface between the laboratory and theory inasmuch as experimental measurements interact with the theoretical models. It discusses advanced topics such as mixed classical and quantum dynamics, the Car-Parrinello method, and their applications to large biomolecules and polymers, giving insight into the scope and methods used in modern theoretical chemistry.
