Gaussian 16 is the latest in the Gaussian series of programs. It provides state-of-the-art capabilities for electronic structure modeling. It is used by chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, physicists, and other scientists worldwide. Gaussian 16 provides a wide-ranging suite of the most advanced modeling capabilities available. You can use it to investigate the real-world chemical problems that interest you, in all their complexity, even on modest computer hardware.
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.
A wide variety of methods makes Gaussian 16 applicable to the full range of chemical conditions and problem sizes and across the entire periodic table. Its consistent and intuitive user input and default settings hide algorithmic and procedural complexity, allowing the user to focus on the chemistry.
Starting from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, Gaussian 16 predicts the energies, molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and molecular properties of compounds and reactions in a wide variety of chemical environments. Gaussian 16’s models can be applied to both stable species and compounds which are difficult or impossible to observe experimentally, whether due to their nature (e.g., toxicity, combustibility, radioactivity) or their inherent fleeting nature (e.g., short-lived intermediates and transition structures).
With Gaussian 16, you can thoroughly investigate the chemical problems that interest you. For example, not only can you minimize molecular structures rapidly and reliably, you can also predict the structures of transition states and verify that the predicted stationary points are in fact minima or transition structure (as appropriate). You can go on to compute the reaction path by following the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) and determine which reactants and products are connected by a given transition structure. Once you have a complete picture of the potential energy surface, reaction energies and barriers can be accurately predicted. You can also predict a wide variety of chemical properties.
The results from all calculation types are presented in natural and intuitive graphical form by Gauss View 6 the Graphical User Interface. 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.).
