Modern chemica...No that's an interesting topic! Modern chemical research would probably be lost without numerical quantum chemistry (at least large parts of it). Even in the fields where one would assume that the qualitative concepts are more important (e.g. organic synthesis) rely heavily on quantum chemistry nowadays (more and more position are established in computational organic chemistry). <br />The question, which makes me wonder is: what else will quantum mechanics bring to chemistry? E.g. what’s the role of EPR like phenomena in (bio-)chemistry?<br />So we can’t go behind numerical quantum chemistry but is it everything QM has to say about chemistry?<br />Cheers & thanks for your cool blog<br />RobertUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729867413914264600noreply@blogger.com
