Journal Article
Wibowo-Teale, M., Huynh, B. C., Wibowo-Teale, A. M., De Proft, F., & Geerlings, P. (2024). Symmetry and reactivity of π-systems in electric and magnetic fields: a perspective from conceptual DFT. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 26(21), 15156-15180. https://doi.org/10.1039/D4CP00799A

The extension of conceptual density-functional theory (conceptual DFT) to include external electromagnetic fields in chemical systems is utilised to investigate the effects of strong magnetic fields on the electronic charge distribution and its conse...

Understanding ground and excited-state molecular structure in strong magnetic fields using the maximum overlap method (2022)
Journal Article
Wibowo, M., Huynh, B. C., Cheng, C. Y., Irons, T. J. P., & Teale, A. M. (2022). Understanding ground and excited-state molecular structure in strong magnetic fields using the maximum overlap method. Molecular Physics, Article e2152748. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2022.2152748

The maximum overlap method (MOM) provides a simple but powerful approach for performing calculations on excited states by targeting solutions with non-Aufbau occupations from a reference set of molecular orbitals. In this work, the MOM is used to acc... Read More about Understanding ground and excited-state molecular structure in strong magnetic fields using the maximum overlap method.

Carbon dioxide reduction by lanthanide(iii) complexes supported by redox-active Schiff base ligands (2020)
Journal Article
Jori, N., Toniolo, D., Huynh, B. C., Scopelliti, R., & Mazzanti, M. (2020). Carbon dioxide reduction by lanthanide(iii) complexes supported by redox-active Schiff base ligands. Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers, 7(19), 3598-3608. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0qi00801j

Here we have explored the ability of Schiff bases to act as electron reservoirs and to enable the multi-electron reduction of small molecules by lanthanide complexes. We report the reductive chemistry of the Ln(III) complexes of the tripodal heptaden...

We use a method based on metadynamics to locate multiple low-energy Unrestricted Hartree–Fock (UHF) self-consistent-field (SCF) solutions of two model octahedral d1 and d2 transition-metal complexes, [MF6]3– (M = Ti, V). By giving a group-theoretical... Read More about Symmetry in Multiple Self-Consistent-Field Solutions of Transition-Metal Complexes.
