Despite the close association between tellurium (Te) and gold (Au) in many epithermal, orogenic, and intrusion-related hydrothermal ore deposits, the hydrothermal chemistry of Te remains poorly understood. We studied the protonation/ deprotonation and stru ...
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 ...
(Chemical Equation Presented) Less carbon: Following a biogenetic proposal, the unusual 6-5-6 carbon skeleton of C19 taiwaniaquinoids was obtained by an intramolecular benzilic acid rearrangement from a C20 precur-sor. A protecting-group-free total synthes ...
In a recent publication, Haestier [J. Appl. Cryst. (2009), 42, 798-809] has proposed a method to take care of the unit-cell-parameter uncertainties in the calculation of geometric quantities such as interatomic distances and bond angles by modifying the un ...
The ligand-field (LF) transition energies of the Co(NH3)(6)(3+) ion have been computed with multiconfiguration quasidegenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2). The water solvent was treated with the polarizable continuum model (PCM), and the env ...
