Abstract

The remarkable growth of computational chemistry over the past two decades or so, in both industrial and academic laboratories, is (it is to be hoped) a testimony to the fact that it can provide useful results; thus, I shall treat the question ‘Why should we bother with computational chemistry?’ as a solved problem. However, having attained a position of reasonable stability (if not quite respectability) in many areas of chemistry, the time is ripe for computational chemists to look critically at the methods which are in common use, and consider where they can be improved to give better results and to allow their extension into fields where computational chemistry currently has few uses.
