Assistant professor at UFRRJ. Computational chemist from Rio de Janeiro. My thing is inorganic and photochemistry. I do some python. I play some blues. This is my personal account. Opinions are my own.

Just wondering when the @royalsociety.org will do something about Musk being a fellow. What a shame.
New paper with my colleagues at #UFRRJ and #UFRGS. In this work #ORCA nailed to show in extreme detail the formation process of a zinc complex AND the charge transfer. Yes, we have AIMD, we have DLPNO-CCSD(T) and a little bit of TD-DFT.

In the believe it or not category:
The 3rd edition of Essentials of Computational Chemistry is, lo these 20 years later, under contract... 😮
(Here's hoping my co-authors, to whom I shall afford anonymity until the revised draft is delivered, survive what they signed up for! 😬)

C'mon LEAN-SCF, I gave you a good initial wavefunction. Throw me a bone, please. #ORCA

Ainda ontem me gabei de que não peguei essa gripe sinistra que anda por aí. Hoje, com dor de garganta, não aguento nem beber água.

Skala is now available to everyone!
Why are we releasing it? Because we’re not just aiming to publish a cool paper — we’re on a mission to bring DFT to chemical accuracy using deep learning. And to make real progress, we need the community’s feedback.
#compchem
The wait is over! Microsoft Research is sharing Skala, the new exchange-correlation functional, marking a major milestone in the accuracy/cost trade-off in DFT. Help us learn from your testing so we can improve. Available on Azure AI Foundry and GitHub. msft.it/6016sFDLY

Does anyone on Bluesky research proteins that are stable at high temperatures? 👀 #science #biosky #chemsky
