All aspects of theoretical inorganic chemistry. We develop quantum chemical methods which apply to a wide range of transition metal complexes (TMC) and related solids. Also their reactivity is of interest. What is imporant with TMC it is the pretty localized d-shell which almost does not change too much as compared to that in a free ion. The spin multiplets of the free ion survive the complex formation. This is in contrast with the situation in organic compounds, where the multiplet structure of say carbon atom is completely lost in the methane molecule. This creates some problems not completely solvable by standard quantum chemical approaches. And their solution is what we provide.
