Dr. Dmitri Kilin from North Dakota State University will present a seminar. Light-to-matter interaction integrated with ab initio molecular dynamics Abstract: Several aspects of electromagnetic field to matter interaction are addressed by computational modeling of transitions between ground and excited state potential energy surfaces, driving molecular system away from the equilibrium. Photoinduced bond breaking events are enhanced for molecular systems placed in the center of resonant microcavity via formation of a bound matter-to-field polaritonic state. A description of matter-to-electromagnetic [...]
Harnessing the Reactivity of Alkynes: Construction of Small Organic Molecules of Pharmaceutical Interest Professor Akhilesh K. Verma from the University of Delhi will present a seminar. Harnessing the Reactivity of Alkynes: Construction of Small Organic Moleculesof Pharmaceutical Interest Abstract: The simplicity, efficiency,and generality of reactions using alkyneshave led to its applications in the synthesis of a wide variety of small organic moleculesand natural products. Developing synthetic strategiesforsmall molecules in terms of selectivity, operational simplicity,functional group tolerance,and environmental sustainability isin constant [...]
