A relatively complete survey of quantum chemistry, written on a level just below that of the Szabo and Ostiund text. Levine has done an excellent job in including up-to-date material in successive editions of this text, which makes for interesting as well as informative reading. 

As a scientific tool, ab initio quantum chemistry is not yet as accurate as modem laser spectroscopic measurements, for example. Moreover, it is difficult to estimate the accuracies with which various methods predict bond energies and lengths, excitation energies and the like. In the opinion of tlie author, chemists who

These approaches provide alternatives to the conventional tools of quantum chemistry. The Cl, MCSCF, MPPT/MBPT, and CC methods move beyond the single-configuration picture by adding to the wavefimction more configurations whose amplitudes they each detennine in their own way. This can lead to a very large number of CSFs in the correlated wavefimction and, as a result, a need for extraordinary computer resources.

The electron density, pj, of the embedded cluster/adsorbate atoms is calculated using quantum chemistry methods (HF, PT, multireference SCF, or Cl). The initial step in this iterative procedure sets to zero,

Essentially all ab initio quantum chemistry approaches introduce a mean field potential F that embodies the average interactions among the electrons.

First-principles models of solid surfaces and adsorption and reaction of atoms and molecules on those surfaces range from ab initio quantum chemistry (HF configuration interaction (Cl), perturbation theory (PT), etc for details see chapter B3.1 ) on small, finite clusters of atoms to HF or DFT on two-dimensionally infinite slabs. In between these 

Much of the work done on metal clusters has been focused on the transition from cluster properties to bulk properties as the clusters become larger, e.g. the transition from quantum chemistry to band theory [127]. 

Progress in the theoretical description of reaction rates in solution of course correlates strongly with that in other theoretical disciplines, in particular those which have profited most from the enonnous advances in computing power such as quantum chemistry and equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of liquid solutions where Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations in many cases have taken on the traditional role of experunents, as they allow the detailed investigation of the influence of intra- and intemiolecular potential parameters on the microscopic dynamics not accessible to measurements in the laboratory. No attempt, however, will be made here to address these areas in more than a cursory way, and the interested reader is referred to the corresponding chapters of the encyclopedia. 

In either case, the structure of the solvation shell has to be calculated by otiier methods supplied or introduced ad hoc by some fiirther model assumptions, while charge distributions of the solute and within solvent molecules are obtained from quantum chemistry. 

Although a separation of electronic and nuclear motion provides an important simplification and appealing qualitative model for chemistry, the electronic Sclirodinger equation is still fomiidable. Efforts to solve it approximately and apply these solutions to the study of spectroscopy, stmcture and chemical reactions fonn the subject of what is usually called electronic structure theory or quantum chemistry. The starting point for most calculations and the foundation of molecular orbital theory is the independent-particle approximation.
