Quantum chemical methods have been used to assess the physico-chemical origin of the stereo and regio-selectivity during glycosyl tricyclic orthoester polymerization. The subtle modulation of steric and electronic factors dramatically influences the reaction.

Here, the authors show that an application of the QSAR methods for nanomaterials is nevertheless possible and can be useful in predicting their various properties and activities (toxicity). In the chapter briefly explained how the physico-chemical properties can be predicted for nanomaterials. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated how the biological activity, particularly toxicity, can be modeled and predicted for the series of nanoparticles, by applying the quantum-chemical methods in combination with the nano-QSAR.

Monomolecular films of diacyl diperoxides at the water–air phase interface have been studied. Their behaviour is influenced by the structure of the molecule and the solvent. The numerical values of the areas of molecules that are extrapolated to zero pressure are different, which indicates a different conformation of the molecules in the monolayer. The conformational states of diperoxides were calculated by quantum chemical methods. Experimental data and quantum chemical calculations are consistent with each other.

The IR spectra of 3-aminophthalonitrile (3-AFN) were obtained for solid phase. The experimental spectra were assigned using quantum chemical calculations of different level. Comparison of experimental and calculated spectra shows a significant ambiguity of different quantum chemical methods for predicting vibration spectrum in low-frequency range and peculiarities of 3-AFN molecule structure.

The storage of hydrogen is the key technology for a sustainable future. We developed an in silico procedure, which is based on the combination of experimental and quantum-chemical methods. This method was used to evaluate energetic parameters for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions of various pyrazine derivatives as a seminal liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), that are involved in the hydrogen storage technologies. With this in silico tool, the tempo of the reliable search for suitable LOHC candidates will accelerate dramatically, leading to the design and development of efficient materials for various niche applications.

Reactions between water clusters containing the superoxide anion, O2˙−(H2O)n (n = 0–4), and formic acid, HCO2H, were studied experimentally in vacuo and modelled using quantum chemical methods.
