Описание: Exploring Chemistry with Electronic Structure Methods serves as an introduction to the capabilities of and procedures for this variety of computational chemistry. It is designed to teach you how to use electronic structure modeling to investigate the chemical phenomena of interest to you. This work was developed using the Gaussian series of computational chemistry programs for all of its specific examples and exercises (specifically Gaussian 94). Other program(s) could be substituted, provided that the necessary features and capabilities were available. Gaussian is capable of predicting many properties of molecules and reactions, including the following:Molecular energies and structures; Energies and structures of transition states; Bond and reaction energies; Molecular orbitals; Multipole moments and etc. Computations can be carried out on systems in the gas phase or in solution, and in their ground state or in an excited state. Gaussian can serve as a powerful tool for exploring areas of chemical interest like substituent effects, reaction mechanisms, potential energy surfaces, and excitation energies.
