| Course description |
|
This course is held by Rie Togashi, a part-time instructor. This syllabus is subject to change by the faculty member due to lectures. Computational chemistry based on the molecular orbital theory is one of the effective methods to investigate properties and reactions of wide variety of molecules. This course provides the basics of molecular orbital method to students familiar with elementary topics of quantum chemistry such as Schroedinger equation and wave function. After carrying out some reviews on matrix calculation and variation method, an introduction will be given to Hartree-Fock equation which is the basics of molecular orbital theory. Students will be able to learn more through some simple analyses with molecular orbital calculation software. Google Classroom code: jc6opqd |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| It is not so complicated to execute molecular orbital calculation and visualize the results if you do not make mistake in your molecular modeling and input/output file treatment. However, it is very important to understand the hypotheses and approximations employed in molecular orbital theory, and the methods applied to improve the calculation accuracy if you will apply this method effectively into your research. |
