9.2.1.15 Book Series

Reviews in Computational Chemistry, K. B. Lipkowitz and D. B. Boyd, Eds.,
Wiley-VCH, New York.
Useful reviews focused on various topics, by workers in that particular field.
A volume in this series typically has from 4 to 11 chapters, each a kind of tutorial
on the theory and application of some computational method. Volumes 1–18 were
edited by K. B. Lipkowitz and D. B. Boyd; the series continues with Lipkowitz and
others, editors. Volume 27 is to appear in June 2010.

9.2.2 Websites for Computational Chemistry in General..............

Information on even specialized scientific topics can often be obtained from
ordinary search engines. For example, a popular search engine gave information
(ten hits for each) on these five topics, using the keywords shown: Hartree–Fock,
potential energy surface, molecular mechanics, Huckel, Extended Huckel. In several
cases the hypertext leads one to tutorials, and to free programs. Nevertheless, a list
of specific websites can still be helpful. Many websites are given in the books by
Young and by Levine, above; some other useful ones are (should some of these
invoke “Address Not Found”, try a search engine) these:

1. The computational chemistry list, CCL
   http://www.ccl.net/chemistry/
   A truly extraordinarily helpful forum for exchanging ideas, asking questions and
   getting help. If you join the network you can expect typically five to ten
   messages a day. It often serves as a forum for stimulating discussions. Currently
   the best way to locate specific information in CCL may be to go, once in CCL, to
   CCL Search and follow the instructions to using Google for a CCL search.


2. National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST (USA)
   (a) General information
   http://www.nist.gov/index.html
   (b) Chemistry databases
   http://www.nist.gov/srd/chemistry.htm
   (c) Computational chemistry comparison and benchmark database
