Authors: Yanes-Rodriguez, Raquel; Prosmiti, Rita Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/01/19 DOI: 10.1039/d1cp04935f Abstract: We have assessed the performance and accuracy of different wavefunction-based electronic structure methods, such as DFMP2 and domain-based local pair-natural orbital (DLPNO-CCSD(T)), as well as a variety of density functional theory (DFT) approaches on He@(H2O)(N) cage systems. We have [...]

Authors: Braunstein, Matthew; Bonnet, Laurent; Roncero, Octavio Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/03/02 DOI: 10.1039/d1cp04244k Abstract: We present quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) cross sections, rate constants, and product state distributions for the D + H-3(+) -> H2D+ + H reaction. Using the same H-4(+) potential surface, the rate constants obtained from several QCT-based methods [...]

Authors: Carrillo-Bohorquez, Orlando; Valdes, Alvaro; Prosmiti, Rita Journal: CHEMPHYSCHEM Publication date: 2022/03/14 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202200034 Abstract: We explore the origin of the anomalous splitting of the 1(01) levels reported experimentally for the H2O@C-60 endofullerene, in order to give some insight about the physical interpretations of the symmetry breaking observed. We performed fully-coupled quantum computations within the [...]

Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/03/23 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp00180b Abstract: Photodissociation of the vinyl radical through pathways CH2CH -> CH2C + H, CH2CH -> CHCH + H, and CH2CH -> CH2 + CH is investigated by means of high-level ab initio calculations. Potential-energy curves (PECs) [...]

Authors: Yanes-Rodriguez, Raquel; Cabrera-Ramirez, Adriana; Prosmiti, Rita Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/06/01 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp00701k Abstract: The dynamics of the formation of a specific clathrate hydrate as well as its thermodynamic transitions depend on the interactions between the trapped molecules and the host water lattice. The molecular-level understanding of the different underlying processes [...]

Authors: Perez-Gonzalez, Beatriz; Gomez-Leon, Alvaro; Platero, Gloria Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/07/06 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp01806c Abstract: We explore the physics of topological lattice models immersed in c-QED architectures for arbitrary coupling strength with the photon field. We propose the use of the cavity transmission as a topological marker and study its behaviour. For [...]
