Complementary Bonding Analysis

About this book
As chemical bonds are not observable, there are various theories and models for their description. This book presents a selection of conceptually very different and historically competing views on chemical bonding from quantum chemistry and quantum crystallography – a complementary bonding analysis. The book not only explains the principles behind the methods but also provides practical examples of how to derive bonding descriptors with modern software and of how to interpret them.
- Presentation of some of the most important methods for chemical bonding analysis.
- Discussion of concepts from computation and experiment related to today's research.
- Many examples for using free software and tools.
- Second edition with new bond indices and a complementary bonding analysis of non-covalent interactions.
Author / Editor information
Simon Grabowsky studied chemistry at Free University of Berlin and received his doctoral degree from the same institution in 2011 before he went to the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth for a postdoctoral stay. Simon became Assistant Professor at UWA in early 2014, but left later in the same year to take on an Emmy Noether fellowship of the German Research Foundation (DFG) which allowed him to be head of a research group at the University of Bremen, Germany. In 2015, he received the title "Professor" from the University of Bremen, and in 2019 he habilitated in physical chemistry. Since August 2019, Simon is a private docent and permanent research group leader in chemistry at the University of Bern, Switzerland, as head of the solid-state and X-ray laboratory. He is President of the Swiss Society for Crystallography.
