OpenThermo is a program package  for statistical thermodynamics computations beyond rigid rotor – harmonic oscillator (RRHO) approximation. OpenThermo screenshot 1

This type of calculations made in conventional “barehanded” way require individual approach for every molecule, their difficulty rapidly increase with taking more factors into consideration.

Here are some key features of “OpenThermo”:

· Evaluation of heat capacities CV(T) Cp(T), entropy S0(T), energy U0(T)-U0(0), enthalpy H0(T)-H0(0), free energy F0(T)-F0(0), free enthalpy G0(T)-G0(0) zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) from molecular geometry, list of vibrational frequencies description of internal rotations;
· treatment of internal rotations as free or hindered (at present, only one-harmonic approximation of potential curve is available, height of barrier is required for this calculation);
· automatic symmetry analysis for molecule internal rotors;
· calculation of partition function as discreet sum for rotations of symmetric molecules internal rotors;
· calculations with anharmonic correction (require anharmonic (experimental or scaled) vibrational frequencies);
· verbose log file makes thermodynamic calculation transparent for user.
