Hi folks:

     From time to time requests are posted for good elementary 
textx books on molecular orbital theory.  I would like to
endorse the new book by Yves Jean and Francois Volatron
(Jeremy Burdett translator) "An Introduction to Molecular
Orbitals" Oxford University Press (1993).  The last section 
(section 3) deals with the geometry and reactivity of molecules.


Pat Hogue

ps: there are good exercises at the end of each chapter and 
the book is cheap ($39).
