Gaussian and GaussView

Overview

• Gaussian is a computer program used by chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, physicists, and other scientists. It utilizes fundamental laws of quantum mechanics to predict energies, molecular structures, spectroscopic data (NMR, IR, UV, etc) and much more advanced calculations. GaussView is a graphical interface used with Gaussian.

• Gaussian 16 is the latest in the Gaussian series of programs. It provides state-of-the-art capabilities for electronic structure modeling. Gaussian 16 is licensed for a wide variety of computer systems. All versions of Gaussian 16 contain every scientific/modeling feature, and none imposes any artificial limitations on calculations other than your computing resources and patience.

• GaussView 6 is the latest iteration of a graphical interface used with Gaussian. It aids in the creation of Gaussian input files, enables the user to run Gaussian calculations from a graphical interface without the need for using a command-line instruction, and helps in the interpretation of Gaussian output (e.g., you can use it to plot properties, animate vibrations, visualize computed spectra, etc.).
