Areas of scientific activity

Theoretical calculations for molecules and their interactions. Modelling of intermolecular interactions of the molecular complexes. Special attention is paid to many-body nonadditive forces and the spectroscopic parameters of the interacting systems.

Theoretical study of the water clusters, finding their structure and understanding their IR and NMR spectra.

Ozon destruction problem - Solvation and ionization stages of HCl on ice nanoparticels.

Intermolecular effects in NMR chemical shifts and NMR spin-spin coupling constants studied with quantum-chemical calculations. NMR spin-spin coupling constants transmitted through hydrogen bonds.

Dihydrogen bonding – spectroscopic parameters and the nature of interaction

Vibrational circular dichroizm (VCD) spectra of interacting molecules. Transfer of chirality.

Relativistic effects for NMR for noble-gas compounds.

Fentanyl and its derivatives – interactions with opioid and sigma1 receptors.
