Catalyst Screening & Prediction
Successful computational predictions of new catalyst for organic and organometallic reactions are still rare. To transform computations from a tool of explaining after-facts to an efficient approach to predict and guide new discoveries, it is eminent to develop rapid screening technology to facilitate the discovery of new catalysts. We are developing a multi-scale computational screening protocol which could efficiently rank the catalysts based on ligand-substrate interaction energies in the transition state.
