More Transition metal chemistry...

Investigate properties of transition metal complexes with a focus on the performance of computation chemistry in modelling such compounds. We will be modelling geometries and other properties using Density Functional Theory (DFT) of organometallic compounds (within the Gaussian program), along with more sophisticated methods (Coupled cluster etc). This is a collaborative project with several researchers in Italy.
