About the Series

The Series is intended to provide an accessible reference for two main target audiences. These are:

• Practising computational and theoretical chemists who require a sound reference work for the theoretical background of the techniques that they use including "do's" and "don'ts" , where standard techniques are not applicable and why etc.
• Advanced students of theoretical chemistry who require modern, up-to-date and comprehensive information about current theoretical methods and techniques.  

The Series will cover all aspects of theoretical and computational chemistry, based both classical mechanics and on quantum theory. Each book will treat a specific aspect of theory or applications of theoretical chemistry in depth.

Topics will include:

• Simulation
• Dynamics
• Electronic Structure
• Density Functional Theory
• QM/MM   

and theoretical aspects of:

• Solvation
• Condensed Matter
• Catalysis
• Clusters
• Excited States
• Spectroscopy
• Controlling Atoms and Molecules   

The first two books in this series were published in Autumn 2009. Anyone interested in submitting a book proposal may contact the series editors or the commissioning editor, Dr Merlin Fox.
