Abstract
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in quantitative attempts to predict molecular structures and stabilities by purely theoretical quantum mechanical techniques. For the most part, such attempts have been based on molecular orbital techniques at various levels of approximation. In this paper, the current status of such theories for geometries and energies of small organic molecules will be reviewed.
