Course Summary
Modern theoretical methods used in study of molecular
structure, bonding, and reactivity. Concepts and practical applications. Ab
initio and semi-empirical calculations of molecular electronic structure.
Theoretical determination of molecular structure and spectra; relationship
to experimental techniques. Molecular mechanics. Structure determination of
large systems. Study of molecular properties and reactivity by theoretical
methods. Computational tools for theoretical determination and lab for hands-on
experience. Critical assessment of reliability of methods and theoretical
work in literature.
