Assistant professor at UFRRJ. Computational chemist from Rio de Janeiro. My thing is inorganic and photochemistry. I do some python. I play some blues. This is my personal account. Opinions are my own.

Just wondering when the @royalsociety.org will do something about Musk being a fellow. What a shame.

I am often asked: What is the best telescope to buy for someone just getting into astronomy?

🪐🔭👀

As a theorist, I am absolutely useless and can tell you nothing. HOWEVER, my friend the wonderful @philplait.bsky.social is NOT useless and has great advice & relevant links here! ⤵️

Rio de Janeiro right now: the sky is a bright blue, not a single cloud in sight. The sun is strong, so yellow it hurts the eye. I hate it.

This time, I swear to God, this is the last manuscript I’ll accept to review this year. #chemchat

I have recently added #ChemChat as a feed thanks to @stephy.bsky.social (and to @chemjobber.bsky.social for the concept)

If that's your sort of thing, here it is:
bsky.app/profile/did:...

I warn you though, mere moments in and I'm considering bread concepts (again). Enter at your own risk.

I told my students (via WhatsApp) that tomorrow will be our first lesson on how to use #ORCA on the supercomputer. Their response was “HURRAY!” 😅
I guess they’re already in the right mood for it.

New paper with my colleagues at #UFRRJ and #UFRGS. In this work #ORCA nailed to show in extreme detail the formation process of a zinc complex AND the charge transfer. Yes, we have AIMD, we have DLPNO-CCSD(T) and a little bit of TD-DFT.
