Description
SCIGRESS is a desktop computer molecular modeling software designed for experimental chemists conducting research in life science, materials and chemistry, as well as for undergraduate and graduate educators. The program package allows users to build and visualize molecules in 3D, to compute NMR, IR and UV-visible spectra, to find transition states, to visualize structures from X-ray crystallography, to predict physical and chemical properties of compounds, to handle proteins, crystals, polymers, materials, and much more.

Electronic structure methods in SCIGRESS include Extended Hückel theory (for all elements), ZINDO and MO-S (primarily for UV-visible spectra) and MO-G. MO-G, a refinement of MOPAC, covers all main group elements and many metals, with an extensive choice of models including PM6, PM5, AM1, PM3, MINDO/3, and MNDO. It also includes the COSMO solvent model and d-orbitals for transition metals. SCIGRESS quantum chemistry methods facilitate the study of kinetics and thermodynamics, and the prediction of many physical and chemical properties. In addition, SCIGRESS can transparently run and visualize results from the third party programs: ADF, GAMESS, Gaussian, PHASE, MOPAC2009, and CONFLEX7.
The software runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS platforms.
