Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The theory of intermolecular forces has advanced very greatly in recent years. It has become possible to carry out accurate calculations of intermolecular forces for molecules of useful size, and to apply the results to important practical applications such as understanding protein structure and function, and predicting the structures of molecular crystals. The Theory of Intermolecular Forces sets out the mathematical techniques that are needed to describe and calculate intermolecular interactions and to handle the more elaborate mathematical models. It describes the methods that are used to calculate them, including recent developments in the use of density functional theory and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory. The use of higher-rank multipole moments to describe electrostatic interactions is explained in both Cartesian and spherical tensor formalism, and methods that avoid the multipole expansion are also discussed. Modern ab initio perturbation theory methods for the calculation of intermolecular interactions are discussed in detail, and methods for calculating properties of molecular clusters and condensed matter for comparison with experiment are surveyed.

Reviews for The Theory of Intermolecular Forces

The second edition of Stone's The Theory of Intermolecular Forces has been uopdated, revised and extended. The precise writing will ensure that this book remains the standard text and reference in the field of postgraduate students and researchers for years to come. * Elizabeth Page, The Times Higher Education Supplement * The precise writing will ensure that this book remains the standard text and reference in the field for postraduate students and researchers for years to come. This is a really useful update, with much new information built up over the last 20 years, to make an already very useful book into a 'must have' for any computational chemist. * Matt Probert, Contemporary Physics *
