ONIOM

The ONIOM (short for 'Our own n-layered Integrated molecular Orbital and Molecular mechanics') method is a computational approach developed by Morokuma and co-workers. ONIOM is a hybrid method that enables different ab initio or semi-empirical methods to be applied to different parts of a molecule/system in combination to produce reliable geometry and energy at reduced computational cost.[1][2][3]

The ONIOM computational approach has been found to be particularly useful for modeling biomolecular systems [4] as well as for transition metal complexes and catalysts.[5]
