Summary

Introduces relativistic methods in quantum chemistry to non-experts and students. This book covers relativity background, the Dirac question, four component methods, including symmetry, correlation, and properties, approximate methods, including perturbation theory, transformed Hamiltonians, regular approximations, matrix approximations, and more.

Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry Summary

Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry by Kenneth G. Dyall (Senior Technical Writer, Senior Technical Writer, Schrodinger, Inc.)

This book introduces relativistic methods in quantum chemistry to non-experts and students. Its five sections cover classically relativity background; the Dirac question; four component methods, including symmetry, correlation, and properties; approximate methods, including perturbation theory, transformed Hamiltonians, regular approximations, matrix approximations, and pseudopotential methods; and an overview of relativistic effects on bonding.

Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry Reviews

I consider this to be an excellent and surprisingly affordable text. Above and beyond the copious scientific content and the clear exposition, the authors and publisher have obviously been extremely careful in the production process-the equations and text appear essentially error-free. Anyone looking for a comprehensive and practical reference with respect to relativistic quantum theory will be well served by this volume.
This book is an excellent guide to the theoretical background and the computational application of relativistic quantum chemistry. It lives up to the claim of being readable by the non-relativistic quantum chemist, and I can recommend it to anyone interested in using or developing these methods. * Chemistry World *
