pThis timely and unique publication is designed for graduate students and researchers in inorganic and materials chemistry and covers bonding models and applications of symmetry concepts to chemical systems. The book discusses the quantum mechanical basis for molecular orbital concepts, the connections between molecular orbitals and localized views of bonding, group theory, bonding models for a variety of compounds, and the extension of these ideas to solid state materials in band theory. Unlike other books, the concepts are made tangible to the readers by guiding them through their implementation in MATLAB functions. No background in MATLAB or computer programming is needed the book will provide the necessary skills.p pKey Featuresp ul p liVisualization of the Postulates of Quantum Mechanics to build conceptual understandingli pp p liMATLAB functions for rendering molecular geometries and orbitalsli pp p liDo-it-yourself approach to building a molecular orbital and band theory program
