Density functional theory (DFT) is a quantum mechanical model used to estimate the electronic structure of molecules and condensed matter. In broad terms, DFT works by treating all the electrons in the system as a single electron density, and computing physical quantities of interest as functionals of that electron density.

Reference states for molecular orbital energies in DFT calculations

In molecular electronic structure, electronic/orbital energies are measured with respect to an energy zero of an isolated electron in free space. Hence a lower LUMO energy does correspond to an orbit …

Estimating stability and mean life of anomalous tautomers

TLDR: With a quantum/semi-classical transition state theory. I order to determine the lifetime of the tautomer, you need to know the rate constant for the decay from the tautomer to the conventional d …

Oscillator Strength and Absorption Intensity in TDDFT

When I run a linear-response time-dependent DFT calculation in my favourite electronic structure program, for each excitation I'm given an oscillator strength, $f_i$, and transition dipole moment $$\b …
