Abstract:

Energy decomposition analysis method is the one of the theoretical methods for the quantitative study of intermolecular interactions. The method has been widely used in material chemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular physics and so on.

In this report, I introduce the energy decomposition analysis method developed by our research group and its application in various chemical bonds/intermolecular interactions, discusses the challenges of molecular interaction research in complex systems. The influence of electron correlation and solvent effect on the nature of intermolecular interactions will be discussed.

Bio:

Peifeng Su is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Xiamen University. He received his bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Xiamen University in 2001 and 2007, respectively. He was a visiting scholar at University of Minnesota-twin city in 2006-2007, and then he was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Nebraska-Lincoln from 2008-2009. In 2009, he joined Xiamen University as an associate professor, and now he is a full professor at Xiamen University. His research interests include development of theoretical methods and programs for intermolecular interactions and development of valence bond method for complicated systems.
