STUDY DEVELOPMENT, APPLICATION AND THEORETICAL - EXPERIMENTAL CORRELATION OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICAL CHEMISTRY METHODS AND MODELS OF PHYSICAL-CHEMISTRY INTEREST.

Coordinator: Dr. Eduardo A. CASTRO

The aim is to perform basic studies including the QSAR/QSPR theory, molecular electronic structure, chemical reactivity, inframolecular chemistry, spectroscopy, tautomeric equilibria and thermodynamical properties.
The methodologies to be employed are the usual for this sort of studies, such as semiempirical methods, molecular mechanics, ab-initio procedures, post-Hartree-Fock calculations, molecular dynamics and statistical analysis.
