1. Studies of molecular systems with multiconfigurational methods
Abstract : Research in theoretical chemistry is aimed at finding computational algorithms that produce as accurate results as possible, for as large molecules as possible, with a minimum of computational effort and to apply these methods to molecular systems of chemical interest. The most accurate theoretical methods, often referred to as ab initio methods, are derived from the fundamental laws of physics and they do not rely on any empirical information. READ MORE

2. Fundamental interactions in transition metal reactions
Abstract : Transition metal complexes that participate in homogeneous reactions often perform the role of a catalyst, facilitating novel reaction pathways. When these complexes are pushed away from their equilibrium, the arrangement of the coordinating ligands around the metal center is perturbed and new reaction pathways are opened. READ MORE

3. Towards a multiconfigurational description of the electronic structure in solids
Abstract : Materials of ionic crystals are ubiquitous in industrial chemistry.For example, materials such as cerium dioixde (CeO2) are used in both self-cleaning ovens and to clean exhaust fumes from cars.Other materials, such as titanium dioixde (TiO2) has been used in the solar-cell industry.So-called garnets are used in several lasers.

4. Theoretical Studies on Electronic Structure, Spectra and Conductivity of Pristine and Alkali Doped Polyacetylene
Abstract : The present thesis is a theoretical investigation of the electronic properties of linear polyenes to get an insight into conductive phenomena in pristine and doped polyacetylene. Conductivity in polyacetylene is a complex phenomena and cannot be treated within simple band models. READ MORE

5. Extending the Reach of Accurate Wavefunction Methods
Abstract : Multiconfigurational quantum chemistry methods, and especially the multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) and multireference perturbation theory (MRPT2), are powerful tools, particularly suited to the accurate modeling of photochemical processes and transition metal catalysis. However, they are limited by their high computational cost compared to other methods, especially density functional theory. READ MORE
