Spectroscopy and Electronic Structure of Transition Metal Complexes

The combination of spectroscopic techniques with quantum chemistry and high-level computation is a fundamental component of modern molecular sciences. This powerful synergy drives cutting-edge research in fields ranging from inorganic chemistry to biochemistry and from catalysis to energy research. The summer school focuses particularly on how this combination is used in transition metal chemistry. Its goal is to provide early career scientists with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills required to achieve this synergy in their own work.

The school is addressed to graduate students, post-doctoral scientists, and researchers who want to understand how molecular theory and spectroscopy relate, who wish to enrich their studies, or who plan to expand their research into new challenging directions. The format of the school is equally appropriate for experimentalists who wish to incorporate theoretical input in their own research, and for participants who already have a background in computational chemistry and wish to learn how theory is used for predicting spectroscopic properties.

The Summer School on Spectroscopy and Electronic Structure of Transition Metal Complexes is jointly organized by the Mülheim Max-Planck Institutes. It follows on a series of highly popular and successful past editions and is scheduled for September 24th to 29th 2023. It will take place at the Science Park (Wissenschaftspark) of Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
