Abstract
The consideration of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules at the level of the relativistic quantum mechanics is a rather new area of quantum chemistry. The growing interest in relativistic methods for electronic structure calculations is strongly linked to the developments in chemistry of heavy atom compounds and their use in industry. Moreover, there is a number of chemical observations which show that for heavy atom compounds the interpretation of their electronic structure and properties cannot be achieved without the relativistic treatment.
