Abstract
The Chemist’s Electronic Book of Orbitals introduces students and researchers to the world of molecular orbitals using three-dimensional VRML representations. The electronic components of the book are delivered on the accompanying CD-ROM. The printed part gives a short introduction into basic qualitative molecular orbital theory to enable the reader to make the most of the VRML orbitals on the CD. The CD itself contains an extended interactive textbook and a broad selection of organic compounds and ligands for inorganic complexes including their molecular orbitals. In several demonstrations, the student can change parameters and observe the change in the orbitals or zoom and rotate the 3D-VRML objects.
