Doctoral Dissertations

With the ever increasing availability of computational resources, more challenging chemical systems can be studied. Among these challenges are the rotational and vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules within spectroscopic accuracy, the environmental perturbations induced on a rotating water molecule, the prediction of free binding energies of lanthanide complexes using machine learning, and the study of catalytic mechanisms through a theoretical framework. High levels of electronic structure theory were combined with a rigorous treatment of either the anharmonic vibrational wave functions to study diatomic molecules or the rotational wave functions to study H2O-pH2 interactions. The former was initially …
