The field of quantum chemistry has grown so
immensely that the importance of some of the earliest work and the
earliest pioneers of quantum chemistry is unfamiliar to many of today's
youngest scientists in the field. Thus, this book is an attempt to
preserve some of the very valuable, early history of quantum chemistry,
providing the reader with not only a perspective of the science, but a
perspective of the early pioneers themselves, some of whom were quite
interesting characters. The symposium on which this book is based came
about because one of the co-editors (ETS) came to a conviction that the
contributions such as those by George Wheland to quantum chemistry and
Otto Schmidt to free electron theory should be better appreciated and
known. He organized a symposium in which quantum chemistry pioneers,
both those celebrated by everyone and those seemingly overlooked by
posterity, would be recognized. While this volume is certainly not a
history of quantum chemistry, it does cover many highlights over a
period of about sixty years. This volume consists of chapters based upon
ten of the presentations at the symposium ''Pioneers of Quantum
Chemistry'' held March 28, 2011, at the 241st ACS National Meeting in
Anaheim, CA
