Annotation: This is the first book to discuss modern valence bond theory in a pedagogical context, written by leading authorities in the field. It comprehensively addresses the theoretical aspects and applications of the valence bond method to chemical calculations. This book is designed to teach chemists how to use VB theory to think concisely and rigorously and how to use VB computations. It is intended for chemists who are not necessarily experts on theory, but have some background in quantum chemistry. It will familiarize the reader with the various VB-based computational tools and methods available today and their use for a given chemical problem.

Publisher Description:
This reference on current VB theory and applications presents a practical system that can be applied to a variety of chemical problems in a uniform manner. After explaining basic VB theory, it discusses VB applications to bonding problems, aromaticity and antiaromaticity, the dioxygen molecule, polyradicals, excited states, organic reactions, inorganic/organometallic reactions, photochemical reactions, and catalytic reactions. With a guide for performing VB calculations, exercises and answers, and numerous solved problems, this is the premier reference for practitioners and upper-level students.
