I checked out Amazon books website discussing the classic
"Orbital Interactions in Chemistry" by Thomas A. Albright, Jeremy K.
Burdett,
and Myung-Hwan Whangbo. I found the following customer review:
"Yes, this book is out-of-date, if you say. But the whole diagrams and
symbols are already placed itself as
the canon of this field. If you are an undergraduate chemistry major,
you can see much ados about MO in
recent texts are truly indebted to this book. You can also feel
Hoffmann's friendly approaches. Hwangbo, et
al are direct succesor of the spirit of Hoffmann school!"
   It would be interesting to hear CCLers viewpoint of what books to
read to get updated !

All the best,
      Trond Saue
