Quantum Chemistry and Faraday Discussions

Faraday and quantum chemistry Our quantitative understanding of chemistry is built on discussions of small molecules, which also serve as a testing ground for novel hypotheses of molecular structure and reactivity. Small molecule systems can now be studied in incredibly fine detail using cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques with great resolution in the frequency or time domains, as well as complementary theoretical and computational advancements. Our grasp of quantum phenomena in chemistry is put to the test using this mix of cutting-edge methods. Since small molecules exhibit features both in isolation and in interaction with their environments, the chemical properties of small molecules continue to bring interesting challenges at the chemistry/physics border.
