Quantum Mechanical Treatment of Variable Molecular Composition: From 'Alchemical' Changes of State Functions to Rational Compound Design

'Alchemical' interpolation paths, i.e. coupling systems along fictitious paths without realistic correspondence, are frequently used within materials and molecular modeling simulation protocols for the estimation of changes in state functions such as free energies. We discuss alc...
