Center for Computational Chemistry
Encyclopedia
The Center for Computational Chemistry (CCC) is a research center in the department of Chemistry
at the University of Georgia
in Athens
, Georgia
, USA.
Professor Henry Schaefer
founded the center in 1987 as the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry.
Research at the CCC employs computational chemistry
to elucidate and/or correlate many areas of chemical research.
Chemistry
Chemistry is the science of matter, especially its chemical reactions, but also its composition, structure and properties. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds....
