Thom H. Dunning, Jr., Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2015
A Festschrift from Theoretical Chemistry Accounts
Highlights in Theoretical Chemistry Series, Vol. 10

In this Festschrift celebrating the career of Thom H. Dunning, Jr., selected researchers in theoretical chemistry present research highlights on major developments in the field. Originally published in the journal Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, these outstanding contributions are now available in a hardcover print format, as well as a special electronic edition. This volume provides valuable content for all researchers in theoretical chemistry and will especially benefit those research groups and libraries with limited access to the journal.
