Perspectives on parity violation in chiral molecules: theory, spectroscopic experiment and biomolecular homochirality

The reflection (or ‘mirror’) symmetry of space is among the fundamental symmetries of physics. It is connected to the conservation law for the quantum number purity and its violation and has a…

Relativistic Effects Stabilize Unusual Gold(II) Sulfate Structure via Aurophilic Interactions.

The crystal structure of gold(II) sulfate is strikingly different from other coinage metal(II) sulfates. Central to the unsual AuSO4 bulk structure is the Au24+ ion with a very close Au-Au contact,…

There has been strong recent interest related to the large spin–orbit coupling in Pb monolayers on various properties of graphene and other 2D-materials. The underlying physical/chemical origin of…

Chemistry of the elements at the end of the actinide series using their low-energy ion-beams

Abstract Studies of the chemical properties of the elements at the uppermost end of the Periodic Table are extremely challenging both experimentally and theoretically. One of the most important and…

Free and open source software for computational chemistry education

TLDR
It is demonstrated that a decentralized model for teaching computational chemistry is now possible thanks to FOSS packages, enabling students to perform reasonable modeling on their own computing devices in the bring your own device (BYOD) scheme.
