Why bother with calculations? Computational chemistry & materials modeling • Accelerate research, reduce costs & environmental impact o o • Models: physics & empiricism o • Reduce experimental search space Analyze structure-property-reactivity Accuracy? Synergy experiment-calculations o o o Ask relevant questions Limitations model Constraints experiments ? ? ? Best catalyst? => mechanism? lowest Ea ? best ligand? side reactions? Best battery? => discharge? voltage? interaction with electrolyte? Best OLED? => charge & exciton mobility? emission speed & color? ADF hands-on workshop, 9 February 2018, Daejeon © SCM 6
