Spins in Chemistry

Originally delivered as a series of lectures, this volume systematically traces the evolution of the "spin" concept from its role in quantum mechanics to its assimilation into the field of chemistry. Starting with the origin and development of the spin concept, the text advances to an examination of spin and valence; reviews a simple example of the origin of spin Hamiltonians; and explores spin density, spin populations, and spin correlation. Additional topics include nuclear hyperfine effects and electron spin-spin coupling, thegtensor, and chemical shifts and nuclear spin-spin coupling. 1970 ed. 16 figures.McWeeny, Roy is the author of 'Spins in Chemistry', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486434865 and ISBN 0486434869.
