🚀 New TURBOMOLE Tutorial!
Curious about efficient 2D periodic DFT without the massive vacuum padding and dipole fixes of plane-wave codes?
Our newest video walks through the full TURBOMOLE + TmoleX workflow for computing the adsorption energy of H₂O on an hBN monolayer:
🔹 Set up 2D PBC in TmoleX
🔹 Import & build periodic cells
🔹 Optimize hBN, isolated H₂O, and H₂O@hBN
🔹 Monitor SCF & geometry steps live from the shell
🔹 Compute adsorption energy
🔹 Discuss BSSE & compare with literature (PBE)
If you’re working on 2D materials, surfaces, or adsorption, this one’s for you.

Great tutorial on TURBOMOLE!
Fun fact: You can visualize or export coord files for periodic DFT calculations using CrysX.
This makes converting from CIF/XYZ/extXYZ/POSCAR to TURBOMOLE coord format a breeze.
TURBOMOLE isn't just for molecules—it handles periodic DFT beautifully (Gaussian basis sets FTW ⚛️).
I recorded a full walkthrough showing exactly how to do it: From Silicon CIF file ➡️ Geometry Opt ➡️ Band Structure.

🚀 New TURBOMOLE Tutorial
Curious how to run geometry optimizations and vibrational frequency calculations in TURBOMOLE?
This step-by-step walkthrough uses ibuprofen to show the full workflow: setup → optimization → frequency analysis → confirming a true local minimum.
Highlights:
• Build and set up your molecule
• Choose methods and basis sets
• Run and inspect geometry optimizations
• Perform frequency calculations
• Validate the final structure
Perfect for new TURBOMOLE users.

I’ve lost count of how many times people have asked me for an “easy intro” to TURBOMOLE. So I finally made one 😄
Thrilled to partner with @TurbomoleX for a weekly tutorial series!
