Description
Bonding Through Code: A Practical Approach to Understanding Molecular and Material Chemistry This book provides a unique and accessible introduction to bonding models and applications of symmetry concepts in chemistry. It covers the quantum mechanical basis for molecular orbital concepts, group theory, and bonding models for various compounds, with a focus on practical implementation using MATLAB functions. The author guides readers through the process of building a molecular orbital and band theory program, making complex concepts tangible and easy to understand. The book also introduces 3D graphing capabilities in MATLAB, allowing readers to visualize key concepts. With its do-it-yourself approach and online access to applications and appendices, Bonding Through Code is an ideal resource for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in chemistry, materials science, and physics. Suitable for those looking to gain new tools for theoretical analysis or deepen their understanding of bonding phenomena, this book offers a practical and comprehensive introduction to the subject.
