Highlights with ‘ADF’

Calculation of electric field gradients in Cd (II) complexes

Calculated electric field gradients (EFGs) are instrumental in the interpretation of experimentally determined nuclear quadrupole interactions (NQIs), in terms of electronic and molecular structure. Obtaining accurate calculated EFGs is therefore central for studying the structure...

Reductive Coupling of Nitric Oxide by Cu(I)

Nitric oxide (NO(g)) plays a ubiquitous role as a signaling molecule and strengthens the mammalian host defense response by effecting oxidative destruction of harmful pathogen biomolecules (i.e., by oxidation and/or nitration). Toxic overproduction of NO(g) and reactive NOx products such as...
