Electron Correlation and its Importance in Chemistry
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2-3pm, Carslaw 173.
The achievement of "chemical accuracy" in the theoretical prediction of
thermochemistry has been a holy grail of modern computational quantum
chemistry. Nowadays this is a realistic aim and the purely ab initio
computation of such data is gradually being achieved for more and more
chemical systems. The concept of electron correlation and methods for its
efficient calculation will be discussed along with examples of their
application to current chemical research problems.
