Compulsory Module 18: Theoretical Chemistry A (5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: The students are able to
¿ reproduce the basics of the description of chemical systems in the context of theoretical chemistry;
¿ understand the quantum mechanical description of multi-electron systems and the implication of abstracting this description by inter- and intramolecular forces within the framework of molecular mechanics;
¿ compare different quantum mechanical methods as well as force fields of molecular mechanics in terms of their fundamentals and application as well as contrasting advantages, disadvantages and limitations;
¿ name use cases of the different methods such as the calculation of molecular vibrations or statistical-thermodynamic properties of the structural ensemble and argue the choice of a suitable method for their calculation;
¿ to establish the relationship between theoretical-chemical calculations and experiments from the different chemical disciplines and to understand and discuss connections and differences.
