Computational chemistry was becoming in my mind more and more simply a part of computational sciences, with blurred boundaries of no essential value. Indeed, we prepared an extended animated movie The unity of Science linking quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics and fluid dynamics computer simulations with parallelism the audio comments were given in English, French, German, Italian and Chinese. This was the spirit also behind the volumes Modem Techniques in Computational Chemistry, MOTECC [100], and Methods and Techniques in Computational Chemistry, METECC...

Computational chemistry is of course another technique to obtain theoretical information on perfect crystals at variable temperature. The background for this approach has been introduced in [113] and will not be further discussed here. It is important to stress that cryo-crystallography is not necessarily an experimental science, because predictions or explanations obtained from theoretical modeling are equally important in modem studies. 

The Schwenz and Moore book called for inclusion of modem laboratory instrumentation and techniques, as well as modem research topics in the laboratory curriculum. Under the umbrella of modem instrumentation, the authors included experiments with lasers, mass spectrometers and cyclic voltammetry. In modem topics, computational chemistry, experiments with biological relevance, atmospheric chemistry and polymer chemistry were... 

What is the prognosis for the future of computational chemistry Computing hardware is nowadays stellar. Even commonplace computers are capable of handling calculations of systems containing thousands of particles and simulation times in the range of nanoseconds on a single processor. As the power of modem computers continues to grow, it is only a matter of time before computational techniques are used more routinely for problems of interest to supramolecular chemists. Calcula-... 

Abstract The application of modem density functional theory techniques to the computational study of paUadium-catalyzed C-C formation reactions has led to a better mechanistic understanding of these processes of fundamental interest in organic chemistry. This chapter reviews the main contributions to the topic, analyzing the current knowledge on the different reaction steps oxidative addition, transmetalation, metalation, reductive elimination and isomerization. A special emphasis is placed on the metalation step, which is specific of C-C bond formation processes. 

Here, n corresponds to the principal quantum number, the orbital exponent is termed and Ylm are the usual spherical harmonics that describe the angular part of the function. In fact as a rule of thumb one usually needs about three times as many GTO than STO functions to achieve a certain accuracy. Unfortunately, many-center integrals such as described in equations (7-16) and (7-18) are notoriously difficult to compute with STO basis sets since no analytical techniques are available and one has to resort to numerical methods. This explains why these functions, which were used in the early days of computational quantum chemistry, do not play any role in modem wave function based quantum chemical programs. Rather, in an attempt to have the cake and eat it too, one usually employs the so-called contracted GTO basis sets, in which several primitive Gaussian functions (typically between three and six and only seldom more than ten) as in equation (7-19) are combined in a fixed linear combination to give one contracted Gaussian function (CGF),...
