 Current Research Interest:


       Our current research interest is focused on the description of the nature of chemical interactions and reactivity, including organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds, specially those with unusual bonding situations. Different quantum chemical methods such the energy decomposition analysis of Su and Li, Su-Li EDA,  natural bond orbitals,  NBOs, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, QTAIM, electron localization  function, ELF, fragment molecular orbitals, FMOs, pair interaction energy decomposition analysis, PIEDA.
      We have also interest in bioinorganic chemistry, specially in describing interactions between coordination compounds and biological compounds, such DNA, proteins, and biomembranes, by employing molecular dynamics and hybrid methodologies, QM/MM. 
The description of unusual aromaticity in different classes of compounds is also a current interest.
