In this research group we study a range of real chemical phenomenons that may be explained in a comprehensive way only going beyond the wave function and the electronic energy, that is, taking into account the nuclear movements and, especially, the quantic effects associated to the light nuclei. The main objective is double: the development of new theorical methods and their application (together with the already existing) to several chemical phenomenons which happen in molecular and supramolecular systems.
The concrete objectives may be classified in five general groups:
  1. Study of the quantic effects in polihydride and dihydrogen complexes of transition metals.

  2. Study of light-induced proton transfers.

  3. Atmospheric chemistry: study of the reactions of the OH radical; application of the Transition State Variational Theory to the computation of rate constants.

  4. Enzymatic Catalysis.

  5. Study of Organic Reaction Mechanisms.
