This book provides an introduction to the essentials of relativistic effects in quantum chemistry, and a reference work that collects all the major developments

Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity in 1905. For a long time it was believed that this theory has no significant impact on chemistry. This view c

Relativistic effects, though minor in light atoms, increase rapidly in magnitude as the atomic number increases. For heavy atom species, it becomes necessary to
