Francisco García-GonzálEz, Julia Portela-Pino, Daniel Aranda et al.
The chiroptical response of π-conjugated macrocycles assembled from repeating chromophores can be remarkably intense, yet how it scales with ring size, and what controls it, remains only partly understood. Here we investigate a series of...

Nicolas Grimblat, Gabriel Klassen, Guido Falk von Rudorff
Quantum chemistry calculations are often performed using atom-centered basis sets, which are chosen to balance accuracy and cost. While they are systematically improvable, the total energy converges slowly with basis set size toward the ...

Sayan Bhowmik, Andrew J. Medford, Phanish Suryanarayana
We present a bulk boundary condition formalism for semi-infinite surfaces in Kohn–Sham density functional theory. The approach exploits the nearsightedness of electronic interactions to confine the calculation to a localized surface regi...

Valay Agarawal, Bhavnesh Jangid, Rishu Khurana et al.
Iron–sulfur clusters play central roles in biological photosynthesis, respiration, and catalysis. The [Fe4S4(SCH3)4]2– cluster possesses a dense manifold of low-lying electronic states arising from strong magnetic interactions among the ...
