Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive volume gives a complete description of the basic principles and techniques of molecular mechanics calculations. In addition, the present areas and limitations of usefulness of such calculations are outlined. The first half of this book deals with force fields and methods used for geometry optimization. The remainder of the nine chapters give a compilation of reported calculations as well as discussing stereochemical data from experimental sources. This book should be of interest to organic chemists, inorganic chemists and biochemists.
