Programme (ADF Workshop)

Scottish Computational Chemistry Symposium 2023

ADF Workshop (Monday 19 June 2023)

The ADF (Amsterdam Density Functional) program was one of the pioneering codes designed specifically for DFT calculations on molecules and has been continually developed for more than 30 years. ADF's particular strength are energies and properties of transition-metal complexes and main-group compounds containing heavy atoms, thanks to the ZORA relativistic approach and Slater Type orbital (STO) all-electron basis sets, which allow all elements of the periodic table to be modelled accurately and efficiently.

This workshop will be led by Dr Maria Aliaga from SCM in Amsterdam. The sessions will be a mix of background/explanations and hands-on exercises. All participants will get a trial licence for ADF, which will remain valid beyond the day.

Venue: Joseph Black Building.

Getting here

The Workshop and Symposium take place at the University of Glasgow, School of Chemistry, Joseph Black Building, University Place, Glasgow G12 8QQ.

By train

From Glasgow Queen Street, take the underground (Buchanan Street stop, direct access from the train station) to Hillhead (ca. 10 min), then walk (ca. 5 min). From Glasgow Central, walk up to the Buchanan Street underground stop (ca. 7 min).

By coach

From Buchanan Bus Station, walk down to the Buchanan Street underground stop (ca. 5 min). Take the underground to Hillhead (ca. 10 min), then walk (ca. 5 min).

By car

Parking around the University is difficult. Your best bet is the Bunhouse Road car park (an open car park, off Argyle Street; £10 for 10 h). It's a 5 min walk to the Joseph Black Building.
