**Scientist and Senior Lecturer at University of #Alicante, Spain. 🇪🇸☀️🥘🍤🍊⛵️⛱️
**Editor-in-Chief of Theor. Chem. Acc. (founded in 1962, the oldest journal in our field) Views are my own
Up to 4 reviewer’s reports received for this one! (a review upon invitation)

We tríed to link past and present of #DFT through a historical journey.

The reports will certainly be very useful to improve such a manuscript 💪🏼

Time flies! 25 years working at the @ua.es in quantum chemistry!

Nice period indeed, with more than 3000 hours of teaching and more than 180 research articles published, let’s go for a few more years! 😊

#Sailing with good friends is wonderful! We enjoyed yesterday a new Bavaria 33 sailboat in the beatiful bay of #Alicante (wind did not accompany us so much, a pity)

Glad to start the academic year again at the Faculty of Science (@ua.es):

👉 Lectures on ‘Quantum modelling’, ‘Quantum chemistry and spectroscopy’ and ‘Computational chemistry’, the latter together with @chemortuno.bsky.social and with a great list of enrolled students!

Special issue in memory of Bogumił Jeziorski is now open to submissions!

All manuscripts will undergo the usual peer-review process to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. A thousand thanks to the team of guest editors 💪🏼🎓

It seems these authors forgot to use ChatGPT to correct the acknowledgments 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄

Good news! Singlet-triplet gap in covalently and weakly bound carbenes, a challenging energy difference by DFT, was positively reviewed.

Part of the longstanding collaboration between @ua.es, @chimieparistechpsl.bsky.social, and @itodys.bsky.social (@ctm-itodys.bsky.social)

Few days left for submissions to this Special Collection! (30th Canadian Symposium on #theochem and #compchem)

Thanks again to authors, reviewers, and guest editors 😊

New edition of Shanghai ranking, listing the @ua.es as the top university in Chemistry of Spain for the “World-class Faculty” category!

*Indicators: international awardees, highly cited researchers, and Editors of JCR journals.

Really glad to contribute, thanks to my role in Theor. Chem. Acc. 😊

Definition of horizon:

* the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet.

* the limit of a person's knowledge, experience, or interest.

Views from “El Portet” cove, north of #Alicante (Moraira)

The serenity of the sea is invaluable, indeed a window to Nature’s majesty

On behalf of all Editors, I have congratulated authors of the most (in 2024) downloaded/cited articles in Theor. Chem. Acc.

The topics are DFT, QM/MM, basis sets, solvation effects, software developments, reactivity and molecular properties, etc.

PS: one from 1973 by Pople still is on that list! 😊

Atardecer en #Alicante, aderezado con la letra de #Biznaga (se necesita más punk para estos tiempos que corren):

“Si el desencanto afecta con razón
El entusiasmo es la resistencia
La última expresión
De radical belleza
Una exaltación
El viento que nos lleva”

As Editor-in-Chief of Theor. Chem. Acc., it is really a pleasure to showcase the last #theochem and #compchem contributions (open access) to the highly selective Young Investigators Topical Collection, by Andrea Bonvicini and Tárcius N. Ramos (Université de Namur, Belgium)

A PhD viva is always a very beatiful moment, proud to be part of the Committee! Congratulations to the candidate and her advisors from @icmoluv.bsky.social

Check out this very interesting outcome to efficiently calculate electronic couplings:

The endless horizon, the vatness and beauty of the #Mediterranean sea and sky only compares to the very best of our world: #Science and #knowledge is deeper than the sea and wider than the sky. There is always so much to learn…

I am a passenger
And I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the photons come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good today

(my reinterpretation, great Iggy!)

The CCL (Computational Chemistry List) will close very soon. I still remember my first post there (as a PhD student, 1998 😱) asking about #DFT and non-dynamic correlation. A big thank to Jan for all this work: having such a resource was important in those dates.

#Mediterranean sea at almost 29C, very unusual and rare, storms will be very strong by the end of this summer in #Alicante 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️
