This book provides an introduction to many-body methods for applications in quantum chemistry. These methods, originating in field-theory, offer an alternative to conventional quantum-chemical approaches to the treatment of the many-electron problem in molecules.  Meer

This lecture notes book presents how enhanced structural information of biomolecular ions can be obtained from interaction with photons of specific frequency - laser light.  Meer

In this concise book, the author presents the essentials every chemist needs to know about how to obtain reliable measurement results. Starting with the basics of metrology and the metrological infrastructure, all relevant topics – such as traceability, calibration, chemical reference materials, validation and uncertainty – are covered.  Meer

This book is a comprehensive text covering the research and development trends in the booming field of transition metal catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reactions.  Meer

Conservation Science is a rather innovative application of instrumental analysis with steadily increasing importance. Although the first attempts for preserving material from the cultural heritage on a scientific basis are found in the 19th century pioneer chemistry years, only the use of sophisticated physicochemical techniques results in effective identification and deterioration studies of monuments and objects, and in reliable intervention procedures.  Meer

Fractals play an important role in modeling natural phenomena and engineering processes. And fractals have a close connection to the concepts of chaotic dynamics.  Meer

Here, the authors introduce readers to solving molecular structure elucidation problems using the expert system ACD/Structure Elucidator. They explain in detail the concepts of the Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation (CASE) approach and point out the crucial role of understanding the axiomatic nature of the data used to deduce the structure.  Meer

Most of the properties of a metal-electrolyte interface, even the spe­ cific nature of an electrode reaction, proneness of a metal to cor­ rosion, etc.  Meer

A number of general-purpose, reasonably accurate and well-tested ab-initio codes for crystals are discussed in this book. The aim is to expand competence of their application in material sciences and solid-state physics.  Meer

The present Volume of Lecture Notes in Chemistry fulfils one of the stated aims of the Series, that of disseminating results discussed and evaluated at recent scientific international conferences; in our case a Satellite Meeting of the well-known Conference Series on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic a:ollisions, the XIIIth ICPEAC, which took place in Castelgandolfo, near Rome, from 23 to 25 July 1983.  Meer

Stereochemistry is the part of chemistry that relates observable prop­ erties of chemical compounds to the structure of their molecules, i. e. the relative spatial arrangement of their constituent atoms.  Meer

In this volume 28 papers are presented. They cover all the fields studied with ion cyclotron resonance today, including reviews on important fields as well as short contributions on special topics.  Meer

The lecture notes presented in this volume were developed over a period of time that originated with the investigation of a research problem, the distortion from NiAs-type to MnP-type, the group-theoretical implications of which were investigated in collaboration with Professors F.  Meer

The bond diagrammatic representation of molecules is the foundation of MOVB theory. To a certain extent, this kind of representation is analogous to the one on which "resonance theory" is based and this fact can be projected by a comparison of the various ways in which MOVB theory depicts a species made up of three core and two ligand MO's which define two subsystems containing a total of six electrons and the ways in which "resonance theory" (i.  Meer
