Habilitant in the group of Leticia González. Combining machine learning and excited state molecular dynamics simulation with stat mech.

Lead author Patrick Lechner starts his PhD with a "Very Important Paper" in Angewandte Chemie! doi.org/10.1002/anie... His simulations reveal how spin frustration is key to understanding iron-based MOFs with triangular iron centers, building on decades of experimental work. Stay tuned for more!

Spin Frustration Determines the Stability and Reactivity of Metal–Organic Frameworks with Triangular Iron(III)–Oxo Clusters

Standard DFT fails to capture the spin-frustrated ground state of triangular Fe(III) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), leading to distorted geometries and incorrect binding predictions. Using flip-spi...
