The theoretical methods of quantum chemistry have matured to the point that accurate predictions can be made and experiments can be understood for a wide range of important gas-phase phenomena. A large part of this success can be attributed to the maturation of hierarchies of approximation, which allow one to approach very high accuracy, provided that sufficient computational resources are available. Until recently, these hierarchies have not been available in condensed-phase chemistry, but recent advances in the field have now led to a group of methods that are capable of reaching this goal.
Accurate Condensed-Phase Quantum Chemistry addresses these new methods and the problems to which they can be applied. The book begins with an overview of periodic treatments of electron correlation, with an emphasis on the algorithmic features responsible for their computational efficiency. The first section of the book:
The next section focuses on methods based on treatment of the periodic solid in terms of fragments. This part of the book:
Lastly, the book describes a practical method by which conventional molecular electronic structure theory can be applied to molecular liquids and solids. Along with the methodology, it presents results on small to medium water clusters as well as on liquid water.
Frederick R. Manby is a Reader in the Centre for Computational Chemistry in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol, and was previously a Royal Society University Research Fellow. His research has focused on two main areas: first, on the development of efficient and accurate electronic structure methods for large molecules. Second, he has worked on the accurate treatment of condensed-phase systems, including electron correlation in crystalline solids, and on the application of wavefunction-based electronic structure theories to molecular liquids, particularly water. Dr. Manby was awarded the Annual Medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences (2007) and the Marlow Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2006) in recognition of his research on molecular electronic structure theory.
