We did a little thing there together with @BannwarthTC and Grimmelab. Less orbital optimization and more configuration interaction than usual. Main finding: DFT/MRCI has a built-in implicit solvent model for eps~2:

Highly enantiopure oxetanes via unprecedented catalytic photochemical method:
In collaboration with @Bach_Lab, our PhD student Mike Pauls helped elucidate the reaction course by quantum chemical calculations! Thanks to all 👏

In this pre-print (@ChemRxiv), we demonstrate a fast and accurate implementation of semi-empirical electronic structure theory calculations on consumer-grade GPUs using mixed precision density matrix purification (P. Steinbach):

My account will soon be turned into a student-run group account, where we will post about our research more regularly :)
Alternatively, the same info will soon appear on https://t.co/hRS5glpPLS

In his new paper, Felix presents an algorithm for conformational sampling under high pressure. The method is implemented in CREST and can be used freely. Many thanks to Philipp Pracht from the University of Heidelberg for this great cooperation.

Checkout MolBar, a new molecular identifier capable of describing non-central stereoisomerism like axial chirality and metal complex diastereomers. https://t.co/S3QgC1YA7G

[Bannwarth Lab @BannwarthTC]

The MolBar code allows the direct conversion of the molecule's 3D structure to the MolBar identifier. https://t.co/2jDkAzyqS3

[Bannwarth Lab @BannwarthTC]

@ruben_laplaza yes, it can. Enantiomers have "chirality barcodes" with inverted sign.
