Assistant professor at UFRRJ. Computational chemist from Rio de Janeiro. My thing is inorganic and photochemistry. I do some python. I play some blues. This is my personal account. Opinions are my own.

Just wondering when the @royalsociety.org will do something about Musk being a fellow. What a shame.

I have recently added #ChemChat as a feed thanks to @stephy.bsky.social (and to @chemjobber.bsky.social for the concept)

If that's your sort of thing, here it is:
bsky.app/profile/did:...

I warn you though, mere moments in and I'm considering bread concepts (again). Enter at your own risk.

WooHoo! @chemrxiv.org has just crossed 10,000 papers (preprints) in the Theoretical and computational chemistry section! #compchem This is the largest section so far...

I told my students (via WhatsApp) that tomorrow will be our first lesson on how to use #ORCA on the supercomputer. Their response was “HURRAY!” 😅
I guess they’re already in the right mood for it.

New paper with my colleagues at #UFRRJ and #UFRGS. In this work #ORCA nailed to show in extreme detail the formation process of a zinc complex AND the charge transfer. Yes, we have AIMD, we have DLPNO-CCSD(T) and a little bit of TD-DFT.

In the believe it or not category:
The 3rd edition of Essentials of Computational Chemistry is, lo these 20 years later, under contract... 😮
(Here's hoping my co-authors, to whom I shall afford anonymity until the revised draft is delivered, survive what they signed up for! 😬)

C'mon LEAN-SCF, I gave you a good initial wavefunction. Throw me a bone, please. #ORCA

Skala is now available to everyone!
Why are we releasing it? Because we’re not just aiming to publish a cool paper — we’re on a mission to bring DFT to chemical accuracy using deep learning. And to make real progress, we need the community’s feedback.
#compchem
The wait is over! Microsoft Research is sharing Skala, the new exchange-correlation functional, marking a major milestone in the accuracy/cost trade-off in DFT. Help us learn from your testing so we can improve. Available on Azure AI Foundry and GitHub. msft.it/6016sFDLY
