The experimental data on efficiencies of a series of 7 ureides and 5 acetylides as inhibitors (IN) of corrosion of mild steel in Postgate B media compared to quantum chemical data; the following descriptors found to be essential to describe the inhibitive properties under given conditions: energies of the boundary molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) and dipole moment. The inhibitive properties of the chosen ureides under given conditions are based on electron donating rather than accepting properties of their molecules. PM/3 method was found to be preferable compared to other quantum chemical methods used (i.e., MNDO, AM/1), and even non-empiricab initiomethods because it is found to be more helpful in explaining the mechanism of inhibitive action of organic species.

Several quantum chemical methods including CASSCF/CASPT2, CCSD(T)-F12, and DFT were used to study electronic structures and excited states of germanium trimers singly doped with titanium. All necessary parameters and calculations process are reported in the text. The conclusion on electronic transitions causing anion photoelectron bands was made by analysis of electronic structures and comparison with experimental data (reported by an experimental group).

Geometric arrangement of trimethylammoniodiformylmethylide (I) and charge distribution in this compound were calculated by quantum chemical methods (EHT, CNDO/2, INDO, PCILO, MINDO/2, ab initio). Total energy minimum was found for the arrangement If. The experimentally found dipole moment agrees very well with that calculated for this conformation.

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.

Abstract. The Atmospheric Cluster Dynamics Code (ACDC) is presented and explored. This program was created to study the first steps of atmospheric new particle formation by examining the formation of molecular clusters from atmospherically relevant molecules. The program models the cluster kinetics by explicit solution of the birth–death equations, using an efficient computer script for their generation and the MATLAB ode15s routine for their solution. Through the use of evaporation rate coefficients derived from formation free energies calculated by quantum chemical methods for clusters containing dimethylamine or ammonia and sulphuric acid, we have explored the effect of changing various parameters at atmospherically relevant monomer concentrations. We have included in our model clusters with 0–4 base molecules and 0–4 sulfuric acid molecules for which we have commensurable quantum chemical data. The tests demonstrate that large effects can be seen for even small changes in different parameters, due to the non-linearity of the system. In particular, the temperature and sticking probabilities both have a large impact on all clusters, while the boundary effects (allowing clusters to grow to sizes beyond the largest cluster that the code keeps track of, or forbidding such processes), coagulation sink terms, non-monomer collisions, and monomer concentrations can all have significant effects. Removal of coagulation sink terms prevented the system from reaching the steady state when all the initial cluster concentrations were set to the default value of 1 m−3, which is probably an effect caused by studying only relatively small cluster sizes.

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.
