Educational and
professional goals:

After completing this course a student should have basic skills of a usage of standard quantum chemistry codes and to understand the possibilities of its utilization for solving selected chemical and physicochemical problems

Course description:

Computer exercises: a comparison of the accuracy and the effectiveness of various methods of quantum chemistry (HF, MP2, CCSD(T), DFT) applied to atomization energies, ionization potentials, electron attachment energies, equilibrium geometries, electron densities (and multipole moments) of molecules; the calculation of intermolecular interaction energies; the calculation of enthalpies of chemical reactions; the investigation of reaction paths – a connection with the kinetics within transition state theory; the prediction of spectral characteristics; the investigation of correlations between the molecular structure and the physicochemical properties of molecules.

Required background:


Basic knowledge of physical chemistry and quantum chemistry (on the Bachelor level)
