Published in three volumes, this comprehensive reference work brings together in a single source for the first time, a detailed presentation of the most important theoretical concepts and methods for the study of molecules and molecular systems.  The logical format of the Handbook allows the reader to progress from the foundations of the field to the most important and exciting areas of current research. Edited and written by an outstanding international team, and containing over 100 articles written by more than 50 contributors, it will be invaluable for both the expert researcher and the graduate student or postdoctoral worker active in any of the broad range of fields where these concepts and methods are important.  Comprises three themed volumes: * Fundamentals * Molecular Electronic Structure * Molecules in the Physico-Chemical Environment: Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Bulk Properties * Presents detailed articles covering the key topics, presented in a didactic manner * Focuses both on theory and the relation of experiment to theory  Volume 1, Fundamentals presents the foundations of molecular physics and quantum chemistry. It consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:-  Part 1 Introduction  Part 2 Elements of Quantum Mechanics  Part 3 Orbital Models for Atomic, Molecular and Crystal Structure  Part 4 Symmetry Groups and Molecular Structure  Part 5 Second Quantization and Many-Body Methods  Part 6 Approximate Separation of Electronic and Nuclear Motion  Part 7 Quantum Electrodynamics of Atoms and Molecules  The central problem of molecular physics and quantum chemistry is the description of atomic and molecular electronic structure. The development of appropriate models for the description of the effects of electron  correlation and of relativity are key components of the analysis. Volume 2, Molecular Electronic Structure, addresses these topics, and consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:  Part 1 Approximation methods  Part 2 Orbital Models and Generalized Product Functions  Part 3 Electron correlation  Part 4 Relativistic molecular electronic structure  Part 5 Electronic structure of large molecules  Part 6 Computational quantum chemistry  Part 7 Visualization and interpretation of molecular electronic structure  In reality no molecular system exists in isolation. Molecules interact with other atoms and molecules, and with their environment. Volume 3, Molecules in the Physico-Chemical Environment - Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Bulk Properties, consists of 7 parts arranged as follows:-  Part 1 Response theory and propagator methods  Part 2 Interactions between molecules  Part 3 Molecules in different environments  Part 4 Molecular Electronic spectra  Part 5 Atomic Spectroscopy and Molecular Vibration-Rotation Spectroscopy  Part 6 Molecular dynamics and dynamical processes  Part 7 Bulk properties

Originally delivered as a series of lectures, this volume systematically traces the evolution of the "spin" concept from its role in quantum mechanics to its assimilation into the field of chemistry. Author Roy McWeeny presents an in-depth illustration of the deductive methods of quantum theory and their application to spins in chemistry, following the path from the earliest concepts to the sophisticated physical methods employed in the investigation of molecular structure and properties. Starting with the origin and development of the spin concept, the text advances to an examination of spin and valence; reviews a simple example of the origin of spin Hamiltonians; and explores spin density, spin populations, and spin correlation. Additional topics include nuclear hyperfine effects and electron spin-spin coupling, the g tensor, and chemical shifts and nuclear spin-spin coupling.
