Objective

To use advanced theoretical modelling/computational simulations to identify active materials

Tasks
Task 3.1. EC reaction modelling

Investigation of the geometry and the electronic structure of gas phase noble metal clusters and utilisation of the outcome of the characterization and reactivity measurements (FETI-UU-BME)

Task 3.2. TC reaction modelling

Investigation of the electronic and geometric structures of gas phase post-transition metal clusters, exploration of the reaction paths using quantum chemical methods (BME-RU-FETI)
