Computational organic chemistry

Steven M. Bachrach


This review highlights research in computational organic chemistry published in 2008, featuring (i) new reports of the importance of non-statistical dynamics, (ii) continued benchmarking of density functional methods, (iii) exploration of the limits of aromaticity, (iv) tunneling through large barriers in hydroxymethylene and (v) use of computed spectra in structural identification.
