Is Chemistry Really Founded in Quantum Mechanics?
Brian Sutcliffe, R. Guy Woolley
The relationship between the chemical picture of an isolated molecule and that arising from the eiegenfunctions of the Schrodinger Coulomb Hamiltonian ror the isolated molecule are…
Comment on `On the Quantum Theory of Molecules' [J. Chem.Phys. {\bf 137}, 22A544 (2012)]
Brian T Sutcliffe, R Guy Woolley
In our previous paper [J. Chem.Phys. {\bf 137}, 22A544 (2012)] we argued that the Born-Oppenheimer approximation could not be based on an exact transformation of the molecular Schr…
The Potential Energy Surface in Molecular Quantum Mechanics
Brian Sutcliffe, R. Guy Woolley
The idea of a Potential Energy Surface (PES) forms the basis of almost all accounts of the mechanisms of chemical reactions, and much of theoretical molecular spectroscopy. It is a…
On the Quantum Theory of Molecules
Brian T. Sutcliffe, R. Guy Woolley
Transition state theory was introduced in the 1930s to account for chemical reactions. Central to this theory is the idea of a potential energy surface (PES). It was assumed that s…
