OUR OBJECTIVE We are using state-of-the-art methods for analyzing the nature of the chemical bond. The goal of our work is to build a bridge between the physical mechanism of bond formation and the heuristic bonding models of experimental chemistry. A particular emphasis of our work lies in the analysis of the calculated data in order to provide an understanding of the theoretical and experimental results in terms of chemical models, which are derived from accurate theoretical calculations rather than ad hoc assumptions. At present we are engaged in a thorough investigation of the nature of the chemical bond across the periodic table using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our research is often done in cooperation with experimental groups.
