Abstract
Certainly one of the most important and far-reaching developments in chemistry over the past decade has been the emergence of theory as a predictive tool of semi-quantitative reliability. This statement is no way meant to detract from the pre-1960 theoretical chemistry that provided, through the work of men such as Linus Pauling, Robert Mulliken, and Henry Eyring, the modern foundations of valence theory and chemical kinetics. Contemporary theoretical research is obviously built upon the achievements of these pioneers. However the distinguishing feature of modern theoretical chemistry is the ability not only to correlate existing experimental data (and make rough qualitative predictions), but also to provide an a priori description of chemical phenomena that allows precise predictions to be tested by experiment.
