One central aim of nanotechnology is the creation and exploitation of nanostructured materials with pre-programmed architecture and properties. The fabrication of functional nanostructures relies on versatile protocols of synthetic chemistry enabling the p ...
Neutral and charged assemblies of π-conjugated molecules span the field of organic electronics. Electronic structure computations can provide valuable information regarding the nature of the intermolecular interactions within molecular precursors to organi ...
This thesis introduces original formalisms to achieve an accurate description of dispersion interactions within the framework of density functional theory. The presented research focuses on two specific objectives related to density functional approximatio ...
We investigate the accuracy provided by different treatments of the exchange and correlation effects, in particular the London dispersion forces, on the properties of liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theor ...
Calculations of exact-exchange (EXX) and random phase approximation (RPA)-correlation energies within the formally exact adiabatic connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem formalism have recently been carried out for a number of isolated and condensed sy ...
Radicals play an important role in many areas of chemistry, such as atmospheric, aquatic, polymer, and biological, to name a few. Radicals are often highly reactive species which are short-lived and therefore harder to study by experimental techniques. In ...
A conjugate which is capable of specific binding to and inhibition of urokinase-type plasminigen activator (UPA) comprising a polypeptide molecule and a scaffold molecule, wherein said polypeptide molecule is attached to said scaffold molecule by at least ...
The description of ground state charge-transfer complexes is highly challenging. Illustrative examples include large overestimations of charge-transfer by local and semi-local density functional approximations as well as inaccurate binding energies. It is ...
The parameterisation of accurate and transferable repulsive potentials is a key ingredient for the self-consistent-charge density functional tight-binding method (SCC-DFTB). In the conventional parameterisation scheme the balanced description of different ...
Accurate modeling of non-covalent interactions involving sulfur today is ubiquitous, particularly with regards to the role played by sulfur-containing heterocycles in the field of organic electronics. The density functional tight binding (DFTB) method offe ...
