Taking from the name of the above software, it will be recognized as the software used for calculating the kinetics of chemical process. However, the next word ’simulator’ could be taken account as the most important part about what this software can do. This is a simulator program (only) which allows you to calculate simultaneously a set of differential equation of reaction rates. Unfortunately, this software does not have such a ‘databank’ about the kinetic. So, you have to put it by yourself. Read the rest of this entry »
Kintecus
July 21, 2007 at 12:02 am (Computational chemistry)
For everyone who works in reaction kinetic and pathway, they will be very familiar with this software. Kintecus is known as a program to simulate the chemical kinetics of combustion, biological, nuclear, and air atmosphere in spreadsheet files. Putting spreadsheet as the basis of the interface is nice as most of people are familiar enough with Excel MS. Although it is written not necessary to have MS Excel, it could be better to have at least Excel viewer. The module of the program is activated via macros, so you have to set ‘low’ level of secuirity of your MS Excel. Read the rest of this entry »
Transition structure
July 8, 2007 at 3:06 am (Computational chemistry, Gaussian)
In reaction kinetic calculation, the transition structure is necessary to calculate the kinetic rate constant. In Gaussian calculation, it is known by the existence of single negative value of frequency. So, it could be TS of rotation, conformation, addition, insersion, and so on. Using Molden software, you can nicely see what happen to the molecule in the negative frequency. I browsed one of the mailing list, and I got a nice explanation about the scientific term of negative frequency written by Christopher Crammer: Read the rest of this entry »

Here, I will put continuously the error messages of Gaussian program and its solution. I collect all these from the internet, mailing list, and also my experiences when I use Gaussian. Read the rest of this entry »
Again with IUPAC name
July 8, 2007 at 1:28 am (General chemistry)
In one of quite crowded mailing list of computational chemistry related subject, one of the topics talked about the software to give a name to the specific molecule following IUPAC rules. It is important since when you find a molecule and you want to publish it, you have to put a correct name written in your manuscript. Here, taken from all the replies of the question, I put all those possible softwares that you can use. Interesting since I never know it before: Read the rest of this entry »
