Dr. Fritz Grein

Biography

Fritz Grein is a Professor Emeritus at the University of New Brunswick, specializing in theoretical chemistry. His research focuses on the theoretical study of chemical reactions, including the determination of reaction paths and transition states. He has worked extensively on various aspects of organic chemistry, particularly the anomeric effect and related phenomena in acetal-like systems. Additionally, Grein's interests include the analysis of visible and ultraviolet spectra of diatomic and tetraatomic molecules such as BN, HCP, H2CO, and H2CS. His work also encompasses electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and the development of new methods for the theoretical determination of magnetic g-tensors based on highly correlated wavefunctions. He utilizes a range of computational techniques, including Hartree-Fock and multi-reference configuration-interaction methods, in his studies, which involve quantum chemical calculations and ab initio approaches.
