==== NCPCHEM members ==== === Theoretical chemistry === The task of the theoreticians is to guide experiment towards the ideal molecule for the high-resolution experiment. A computational protocol has been developed for the rapid screening of candidate molecules. Furthermore, a detailed analysis and modeling of how the chemical environment influences the parity violating vibrational shift will be carried out. If successful, such a model would allow a rapid screening of candidate molecules and possibly computer-aided design of new molecules optimized for the high resolution experiment. {{:public:saue.jpg?90}} **[[http://dirac.ups-tlse.fr/saue/| Trond Saue]]** \\ (CNRS DR2) **project coordinator** Laboratoire de Chimie et Physique Quantiques (UMR 5626) \\ Université de Toulouse 3 (Paul Sabatier) \\ 118 route de Narbonne, F-31062 Toulouse, France **Task:** Selection/analysis of candidate molecules {{:public:bast.jpg?90}} **[[http://wiki.ctcc.no/doku.php?id=public:people:radovan_bast| Radovan Bast]]**\\ (postdoc) Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry \\ Department of Chemistry \\ University of Tromsø, N-9037 Tromsø, Norway **Task:** Selection/analysis of candidate molecules {{:public:schwerdtfeger.jpg?90}} **[[http://ctcp.massey.ac.nz/| Peter Schwerdtfeger]]**\\ (professor) Centre for Theoretical Chemistry and Physics (CTCP) \\ The New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study (NZIAS) \\ Massey University Auckland \\ Bldg.44, Private Bag 102904 \\ North Shore City, 0745 Auckland, New Zealand **Task:** Selection/analysis of candidate molecules === Synthetic chemistry === The objective is to synthesize the appropriate chiral molecule for the PV experimental test.
