This electronic version of a paper by the same title published
in this Journal (J.

includes calculations, 3D computer models, and templates.
Giles Henderson, Robert C. Rittenhouse, John C. Wright, and Jon L. Holmes HTML translation by Paul Wagner This electronic version of a paper by the same title published in this Journal in 1979 (J. Chem. Educ.1979,56, 631-635) makes only minor revisions in the text, but uses interactive graphics and animations to illustrate the points being made.
Giles Henderson
Authors and educators have frequently been frustrated by the inability of equations and graphs to properly convey the temporal qualities of dynamic systems. Here previously published articles are supplemented with computer animated motions as described by both classical and quantum methods.
Brad Logsdon and Giles Henderson A quantum mechanical description of how the Stark effect influences molecular orientation is supplemented here with computer graphics and animation.
Giles Henderson and Christine Liberatore Accurately scaled, digital animations of the complex vibrational motions of non-linear molecules, calculated using a simple matrix algorithm to characterize molecular vibrations, are presented for both linear (carbon dioxide) and non-linear (sulfur dioxide) triatomic molecules.
Myriam Triest, Guillaume Bussière, Hugo Bélisle, and Christian Reber A fully quantitative model is presented to calculate the band shape of the absorption spectrum of octahedral nickel(II) complexes and to characterize its two energetically-close excited states. The double maxima are a consequence of interacting electronic states with potential energy surfaces crossing in the Franck-Condon region of the absorption spectrum.
