Quantum Chemistry 11.6 - Huckel Theory

Short lecture on Huckel theory applied to planar hydrocarbon molecule pi systems.

Huckel theory applies the linear variational method assuming an orthonormal basis set, defining Hamiltonian matrix elements based on whether carbon atoms are adjacent. The result is molecular orbitals and energy diagrams which are qualitatively accurate.
