A recent combined experimental and theoretical study by the Kaupp group scrutinizes transition metal phosphanide chemistry which helps to understand catalytic processes involved in C-P bond formation and breaking. The reaction of a Pt-PPh3 with...
A recent Nature protocol paper describes a, step-by-step, easy to follow protocol to assist scientists with rationalizing factors controlling molecular reactivity [1]. Our close collaborators from the theoretical chemistry department at the VU describe how...
The SCM team gladly welcomes Dr. Nestor Aguirre, who joined us in Amsterdam at the end of 2019. After finishing his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in theoretical chemistry at the National University of Colombia, Nestor got...
A new method of extracting hydrogen from water more efficiently could help underpin the capture of renewable energy in the form of sustainable fuel. Transition metal dichalcogenides are promising electrocatalytic materials for the hydrogen evolution...
A recent Nature Communication paper characterizes a model MoS2 hydrodesulfurization catalyst compound under operating conditions -high temperature and high pressure- for a model organosulfur compound by combining STM with DFT calculations. The combined experimental and...
Going to the 2019 MRS fall meeting 1-5 December 2019? Check out Matti’s talk on Machine Learning potentials for next generation materials modeling -his EU project MaLeR– on 3 December, 9.45am at Hynes 210. Thomas...
Come and talk to Nick about your chemical engineering challenges at the annual AIChE meeting mid-November in Orlando. At the SCM booth (#143) he’ll be happy to discuss how the COSMO-RS module in the Amsterdam...
The automation of workflows in computational chemistry becomes increasingly more important. The tool PyFrag 2019 of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite is an example for this.[1,2] PyFrag automates the individual computational steps needed to perform an in-depth...
ReaxPro, the recent H2020 EU project led by SCM, aims to bring together atomistic, mesoscale, and macroscale simulation tools into a platform for multiscale modeling of reactive materials and processes. We are proud to announce...
The ambitious goal of the ReaxPro EU project is to integrate atomistic, mesocale and macroscale methods to generate a user-friendly and integrated simulation tool for reactive materials and processes. SCM is proud to lead this...
