| What's new in Q-Chem 2.0 Algorithms for large-molecule DFT calculations. ECPs for transition metals. Analytic Frequency for DFT. Local MP2. High level electron correlational methods. DFT for excited states. Langevin dipoles solvation model. The Q-Chem program exploits the latest developments in computer science, having adopted an Object Oriented approach to program design, which has been made possible by constructing a completely new program from the ground up. This decision is already proving invaluable in allowing developers to rapidly implement new methodologies with ease and reduce program code redundancy. The result is a highly efficient program with a flexible development base, making Q-Chem, Inc. the company of choice for quantum chemistry software. |
