I must emphasize that my contribution to
quantum chemistry has depended hugely onwork by others.
The international community in our field is a
close one, meeting frequently and exchangingideas freely.
I am delighted to have had students, friends
and colleagues in so many nations and to havelearned so much of what I know from them. This Nobel Award honours them all.
