Balbuena, J.M. Seminario). 18. Systematic model chemistries based on density functional theory: comparison with traditional models and with experiment (M.J. Frisch, G.W. Trucks, J.R. Cheeseman). 19. Computing transition state structures with density functional theory methods (B.S. Jursic). 20. Density functional theory as a tool for the prediction of the properties in molecules with biological and pharmacological significance (M. Belcastro et al.). 21. Density functional theory concepts and techniques for studying molecular charge distributions and related properties. (P. Geerlings, F. De Proft, J.M.L. Martin). 22. Density functional calculations of heats and reaction (P. Politzer, J.M. Wiener, J.M. Seminario). Index.
Summary: Any area where a molecular system is the center of attention can be studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT). This book describes the status of Density Functional Theory (DFT), which has evolved as the main technique for the study of matter at the atomistic level.
