چکیده

Nowadays computation or computational aspects are present almost in everything we do. Over the last couple of decades, the advancement in computer science and their applications in our everyday life has simply been phenomenal, and has impacted positively on how we carry out research. Chemistry has already embraced computation and various mathematical modelling to solve various research questions and to develop new methods, which have finally led to the establishment of a recognised branch in Chemistry, known as Computational Chemistry.
