What is Relativistic Quantum Chemistry : The Fundamental Theory of Molecular Science about?

Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity in 1905. For a long time it was believed that this theory has no significant impact on chemistry. This view changed in the 1970s when it was realized that (nonrelativistic) Schrödinger quantum mechanics yields results on molecular properties that depart significantly from experimental results. Especially when heavy elements are involved, these quantitative deviations can be so large that qualitative chemical reasoning and understanding is affected. For this to grasp the appropriate many-electron theory has rapidly evolved. Nowadays relativistic approaches are routinely implemented and applied in standard quantum chemical software packages. As it is essential for chemists and physicists to understand relativistic effects in molecules, the first edition of ‘Relativistic Quantum Chemistry – The fundamental Theory of Molecular Science’ had set out to provide a concise, comprehensive, and complete presentation of this theory. The second edition of __Relativistic Quantum Chemistry: The Fundamental Theory of Molecular Science__ expands on some of the latest developments in this fascinating field. The text retains its clear and consistent
