Molecular orbital theory — In chemistry, molecular orbital (MO) theory is a method for determining molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole… … Wikipedia
Ligand field theory — (LFT) describes the bonding in coordination complexes. [Schläfer, H. L.; Gliemann, G. Basic Principles of Ligand Field Theory Wiley Interscience: New York; 1969] It represents an application of molecular orbital theory to transition metal… … Wikipedia
Crystal field theory — (CFT) is a model that describes the electronic structure of transition metal compounds, all of which can be considered coordination complexes. CFT successfully accounts for some magnetic properties, colours, hydration enthalpies, and spinel… … Wikipedia
ligand field theory — ▪ chemistry in chemistry, one of several theories that describe the electronic structure of coordination or complex compounds, notably transition metal complexes, which consist of a central metal atom surrounded by a group of electron rich… … Universalium
Mean field theory — (MFT, also known as self consistent field theory) is a method to analyse physical systems with multiple bodies. A many body system with interactions is generally very difficult to solve exactly, except for extremely simple cases (random field… … Wikipedia
Polymer field theory — A polymer field theory within the framework of statistical mechanics is a statistical field theory, describing the statistical behavior of a neutral or charged polymer system within the field theoretic approach.It can be derived by transforming… … Wikipedia
ligand field theory — noun a theory, a combination of the earlier crystal field theory with molecular orbital theory, that describes the structure of coordination compounds … Wiktionary
Common integrals in quantum field theory — There are common integrals in quantum field theory that appear repeatedly.[1] These integrals are all variations and generalizations of gaussian integrals to the complex plane and to multiple dimensions. Other integrals can be approximated by… … Wikipedia
Molecular dynamics — (MD) is a computer simulation of physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. In the most common version, the trajectories of molecules… … Wikipedia
Molecular symmetry — in chemistry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of molecules according to their symmetry. Molecular symmetry is a fundamental concept in chemistry, as it can predict or explain many of a molecule s chemical… … Wikipedia
