Unsere zentralen Forschungsgebiete sind die Theoretische Chemie und insbesondere die Quantenchemie. Wir befassen uns mit der Entwicklung von theoretischen Methoden, hauptsächlich für große Moleküle, und wir tragen durch theoretische Rechnungen an konkreten chemischen Problemen zu deren Lösung bei, meist in enger Kooperation mit experimentellen Partnern. Anwendungen aus diesen Gebieten umfassen die Vibrations-Rotations-Spektroskopie kleiner Moleküle, katalytische Reaktionen von Übergangsmetallverbindungen, die Dynamik elektronisch angeregter Zustände und enzymatische Reaktionen. Sie reichen somit von hochgenauen Rechnungen an kleinen Molekülen bis zur Modellierung sehr komplexer Systeme mit Tausenden von Atomen.

Unter Verwendung hochkorrelierter ab initio Methoden berechnen wir die Vibrations-Rotations-Spektren kleiner Moleküle mit hoher Genauigkeit. Unsere früheren Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet nutzten coupled cluster CCSD(T) Rechnungen in Verbindung mit einer störungstheoretischen Behandlung der Kernbewegung, um durch die genaue Vorhersage der spektroskopischen Konstanten kleiner reaktiver Moleküle deren spektroskopische Identifizierung zu erleichtern und die Analyse der hochaufgelösten Spektren zu unterstützen. In den letzten Jahren haben wir allgemeine Variationsmethoden für die Kernbewegung entwickelt und implementiert, mit denen die Vibrations-Rotations-Energien und Intensitäten für beliebige kleine Moleküle vorhergesagt werden können, inbesondere auch für nichtrigide Moleküle und für hochangeregte Rotationszustände. Diese Variationsrechnungen basieren auf hochgenauen ab initio (coupled cluster) Potentialflächen und Dipolmomentflächen. Aktuelle Anwendungen betreffen die Berechnung kompletter Linienlisten für Ammoniak (über 3 Millionen Übergänge) für astrophysikalische Zwecke, die Erklärung der beobachteten Intensitätsanomalien bei Oxadisulfan (HSOH) und theoretische Vorhersagen für Thioformaldehyd mit Wellenzahl-Genauigkeit. Im Bereich der elektronischen Spektroskopie verwenden wir ab initio Methoden, um theoretische Benchmarkdaten für elektronisch angeregte Zustände von typischen organischen Chromophoren zu erhalten.
Mit DFT Methoden untersuchen wir Übergangsmetallverbindungen, um deren Eigenschaften zu verstehen und vorherzusagen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Elektronenstruktur und die katalytische Reaktivität. Viele unserer Arbeiten zur homogenen Katalyse erfolgen in enger Kooperation mit den experimentellen Gruppen an unserem Institut und zielen auf ein detailliertes Verständnis der experimentell untersuchten Reaktionen.
Derartige DFT Anwendungen umfassen Studien zu folgenden Themen:
DFT Methoden werden auch oft als QM Komponente bei QM/MM Untersuchungen von enzymatischen Reaktionen verwendet.
Dieses Langzeitprojekt zielt auf die Entwicklung verbesserter semiempirischer quantenchemischer Methoden, mit denen immer größere Moleküle mit hinreichender Genauigkeit berechnet werden können. Dies umfasst auch die Entwicklung effizienterer Algorithmen und Computerprogramme. Anwendungen sind meist motiviert durch Anfragen experimenteller Partner oder durch aktuelle chemische Fragestellungen, sie dienen oft aber auch dazu, die Grenzen der neu entwickelten Methoden und Programme kennenzulernen.
Methodische Aktivitäten der letzten Jahren betreffen:
In früheren Jahren haben wir semiempirische Methoden vom MNDO-Typ bei ausgedehnten Studien an Fullerenen eingesetzt. Jetzt liegt unser Fokus auf der Photochemie großer organischer Chromophore, wobei wir auf OM2/GUGACI Niveau sowohl statische Rechnungen als auch surface hopping Simulationen durchführen. Untersucht werden beispielsweise Nucleobasen in der Gasphase, in wässriger Lösung und in DNA Oligomeren, ebenso wie fluoreszierende Proteine, molekulare Rotoren, photochemische Schalter und Retinalmodelle. Weiterhin verwenden wir semiempirische Methoden in QM/MM Molekulardynamik-Simulationen von enzymatischen Reaktionen.
Auf diesem Forschungsgebiet geht es um Hybridansätze für große Systeme, bei denen das aktive Zentrum durch ein geeignetes quantenmechanisches Verfahren und die Umgebung durch ein klassisches Kraftfeld beschrieben werden. Der QM/MM Ansatz erlaubt eine maßgeschneiderte Modellierung komplexer Systeme, wobei der Rechenaufwand auf den chemisch relevanten Teil fokussiert ist. In diesem Projekt gilt ein wesentlicher Teil unserer Aktivitäten der Entwicklung verbesserter Methoden und Software. Bei den Anwendungen konzentrieren wir uns auf die Biokatalyse, insbesondere auf das mechanistische Verständnis enzymatischer Reaktionen und den Einfluss der Proteinumgebung auf die Reaktivität.
Methodische Beiträge betreffen:
Auch wenn die QM/MM Technologie auf eine Vielzahl komplexer Systeme angewendet werden kann, interessieren wir uns hauptsächlich für enzymatische Reaktionen. In den letzten Jahren haben wir uns befasst mit der Biokatalyse durch Häm-Enzyme (z.B. Cytochrom P450), Molybdopterin-Enzyme (z.B. Xanthin-Oxidase), Cysteinproteasen, Fluorinasen, Lipasen, Chorismat-Mutase, p-Hydroxybenzoat-Hydroxylase und Cyclohexanon-Monooxygenase. Daneben untersuchen wir die spektroskopischen Eigenschaften von Proteinen mit QM/MM Methoden, beispielsweise die Raman-Spektren von Phycocyanin, die NMR-Spektren von Vanadium-haltigen Haloperoxidasen und die Elektronenspektren von fluoreszierenden Proteinen. Surface hopping QM/MM Simulationen erlauben darüber hinaus das Studium der Dynamik von elektronisch angeregten Chromophoren unter Einbeziehung der Umgebung.
