Modelling Solvated Systems

All are welcome
Abstract: Modelling solution-phase energies (both aqueous and non-aqueous) is a challenge.
In this seminar, we present several results from our computational chemistry group to show that good results can be obtained with corrections (such as semicontinuum models and entropy-damping corrections) to oft-maligned polarizable-continuum-dielectric models.
Applications to be presented include autoionization of water, chloride-aqua ligand exchange of PdCl4(2-), hydroboration in THF solvent, and mechanochemical solvolysis of amide.
