http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49253414

The papers pertain to the Pariser-Parr-Pople method. The material focuses on the development, and application, of the method in quantum chemistry. The papers have been divided into eight series: Computer Programming Information, 1952-53, 1961 + [n.d.]; Correspondence, (1951-64), 1987-89; Manuscripts, (1953-63), 1988-94; Meetings and Symposia, 1952-66; Notes and Data, [n.d.]; References, [n.d.]; Visual Materials, 1951-56 + [n.d.]; Miscellaneous, [n.d.]. The collection consists of handwritten notes, calculations, and raw data pertaining to the molecular orbitals, bond distances, and charge densities of complex molecules. Also represented is his work with the "701 Data Processing Machine," IBM's first modern computer.

Pariser was born in China on December 8, 1923. He received his Bachelors Degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1944, and his Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1950. He worked as a research chemist for DuPont's Jackson Laboratory. He collaborated with Robert Parr, and helped develop the Pariser-Parr-Pople method. In 1954, he began work in the field of polymer science. He was named Research Supervisor of DuPont's polymer division, and by ...
