Abstract
During the last two decades, computational organic chemistry has earned its place as a discipline complementary to experimental chemistry. Starting out as a somewhat esoteric occupation of sometimes doubtful relevance, it is now recognised as a valuable research tool used by many researchers in both industry and academia. The calculations have become accurate enough to be relevant for experimental chemists and they have become quick enough not to be a full-time occupation.
