Theoretische Chemie: Ihre Bedeutung für das Verständnis chemischer Bindung und Reaktivität ist unbestritten, Studenten der unteren Semester und Praktiker der organischen Chemie lassen sich jedoch oft von Operatoren, Formeln, Parametern und Variablen abschrecken. Jetzt gibt es speziell für diese Zielgruppe eine anwendungsorientierte Einführung in die Quantenchemie. Der Schwerpunkt liegt nicht auf mathematisch-physikalisch exakten Ableitungen - daher sind auch nur geringe Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. Es wird vielmehr gezeigt, welche Probleme der organischen Chemie sich auf welchem theoretischen Niveau behandeln lassen - und welches der Vielzahl verfügbarer Computerprogramme man am besten verwenden soll. Ein- und Ausgabebeschreibungen für die populäre Software und viele kommentierte Übungen erleichtern den Einstieg. Ein Konzept, auf das organische Chemiker schon lange warten und das auch in der Ausbildung Anklang finden wird.
