Where Can I Find Rigorous Books on Physical Chemistry for Master's Level Study?

[Jamister]

I'm master physics student looking for books in physical chemistry for stuff like born Oppenheimer Approximation and more. Most books give hand-waving proofs and I'm looking for a book which is more rigorous.
Thanks

Probably Levine, "Quantum Chemistry," has what you're after. A classic textbook.

not really, I'm looking for a book for physicists.. maybe I should look for a book in molecular quantum mechanics.

That's why I gave you Levine. The people who study the quantum mechanics of molecules are chemists, and a rigorous book on physical chemistry is where you'll find the most careful explanation of the BO approximation.

your'e right, it is a great book. thank you!
