Description

Application of perturbed angular correlation (PAC) of γ-rays spectroscopy in coordination chemistry and biochemistry is well established [1]. Over the past few years we and our collaborators have applied this technique to elucidate structure and dynamics at metal sites in proteins. In addition, we have applied quantum chemical methods to explore how the spectroscopic properties are affected by change of molecular structure and of type of coordinating ligand. Recent results will be presented [2,3]. References [1] Hemmingsen L., Sas K.N., Danielsen E., Chem.
