Theoretical and Computational Chemistry 1200-2BLOK4-CHW6
During lectures the following topics will be introduced (in a simplified way):
necessary elements for an approximate solution of Schroedinger equation for a molecule, i.e. the separation of electrons' and nuclei movements, a briet account of the most popular approaches to the approximate solving of electron Schroedinger equation, such as Hartree-Fock theory, selected theories for electron correlation. Because of its popularity, an emphasis will be given to density functional theort (DFT). For the nuclear part, the separation of oscillation and rotation will be discussed, as well as methods of calculation of rotations and oscillations for multiatomic molecules will be sketched. An emphasis will be given to practical applications for geometry optimization and for a simulation of the IR and UV-Vis spectra
