Molecular properties and chemical reactions: computational studies in gas-phase and in solution

Abstract

This project considers the study of molecular properties and mechanisms of chemical reactions in gas-phase and in solvent using methods of computational chemistry. The study of the solvent effects will have special emphasis here. Such effects are of basic importance in the study of several phenomena in physics, chemistry and biochemistry and currently consists one of the most active branches of research in physical-chemistry. Processes for which solvent effects play crucial role are innumerable in this way the problems considered for study in this project are only some examples where the theoretical research can contribute significantly to the development of this branch. Molecular properties and its modifications due to the effect of the solvent will be studied in gas-phase and in solution. On the other hand, the characterization of mechanisms of chemical reactions, particularly in condensed phase also will be investigated. Atomistic simulations of C60 molecule in several solvents also will be performed. For each topic, specific subjects are considered. (AU)
