Theoretical IR (infrared) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for assisting chemical structure identification. However, approaches based on quantum chemical calculations suffer from either high computational cost (e.g., density functional theory, DFT) or insufficient accuracy (semi-empirical methods). Hence, we introduce a new …

Density functional theory (DFT) methods are by far the most popular approaches for electronic structure calculations. However, the “best” functional remains elusive despite the increasing variety of functionals and continuous efforts to improve their computational accuracy. In our work published in Advanced …

Recently, we published a paper in JOC about the surprising dynamics phenomena in the Diels–Alder reaction of fullerene C60. The AI-accelerated molecular dynamics uncovers that in a small fraction (10%) of reactive trajectories, the diene molecule (2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene) is roaming around …
