Sub-series 1. General Correspondence Relating to the PPP Method, 1951-1964
Scope and Content
The Rudolph Pariser Papers consist of four and a half linear feet of original material pertaining to the Pariser-Parr-Pople method. Pariser’s papers offer a glimpse into the development, and subsequent application, of one of the most widely used methods in quantum chemistry. Pariser’s later work with polymer science is not included in these archives, nor is there any representation of his personal life. The Rudolph Pariser Papers are an invaluable resource for scholars of quantum chemistry and molecular structure, and they are especially valuable for scholars of the Pariser-Parr-Pople method. The collection is arranged into the following eight series:
- Computer Programming Information
- Correspondence
- Manuscripts
- Meetings and Symposia
- Notes and Data
- References
- Visual Materials
- Addenda
Dates
- Creation: 1951-1964
