MOPAC
Fast semi-empirical with integrated GUI
MOPAC is bringing the quantum precision you need to study large molecules or periodic systems. A good trade-off between speed and accuracy is achieved through a minimal basis and parameterization, with parameters for most elements.
Selected MOPAC features
- Easy to run, set up and analyze with integrated Graphical interface
- Geometry optimizations, also interactively
- Transition states
- Frequencies
- Molecules, polymers, surfaces and solids
- Database of solids
- Solvation effects (with COSMO)
- Latest parameters: PM7, PM7-TS
- Older parameters (AM1, MNDO, PM6, …)
- Sparkle: lanthanides
- MOZYME: linear-scaling SCF for large systems
