In recent years, several aromatic molecules (benzene-based rings) have been detected in the cold molecular cloud TMC-1, with its CN-derivative, benzonitrile (c-C$_6$H$_5$CN), also identified in other nearby cold sources. However, observed…
The intermediate coupling regime in polaronic systems, situated between the adiabatic and the anti-adiabatic limit, is characterized by resonant pairing between quasi-free electrons which is induced by an exchange interaction with localized…
Many molecules exhibit multiple conformers that often easily interconvert under thermal conditions. Therefore, single conformations are difficult to isolate which renders the study of their distinct chemical reactivities challenging. We…
