Electronic Structure in Chemistry II

The goal of our symposium on electronic structure in chemistry is to bring together several groups at the forefront of first-principles research in this field. The talks will present some of the latest results on a variety of systems, ranging from gas-phase spectroscopy to ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations in the liquid phase to van der Waals interactions between dimers.
