Physical chemistry:

a molecular approach
Front Cover
18 Reviews
University Science Books, 1997 - Science - 1270 pages
Unlike most physical chemistry texts, modern physical chemistry research is based on quantum mechanics, and this state-of-the-art approach is the one adopted by McQuarrie and Simon. Quantum theory is introduced at the outset, and the molecular viewpoint of quantum chemistry informs the authors' investigation of physical chemistry's other main topic ares - thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. The book also includes examples of applications in NMR spectroscopy, lasers, photochemistry, gas-reaction dynamics and other current research topics.

"At last there is a book written from a modern perspective! A real winner!" George C. Fields, Lake Forest College

Supplement: Solutions Manual

Review: Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

User Review  - Harry Haller - Goodreads

This is arguably the best physical chemistry book out there. The method of presentation and teaching and the high grade quality of the problems are outstanding. This is a great introduction to quantum ... Read full review

Review: Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

User Review  - William - Goodreads

As clear as it is ever likely to be, despite the frequency of statements like "the ten steps from a priori to this point are trivial, and have been omitted." Read full review
