Molecular Modeling and Theoretical Chemistry on PC

Abstrakt

The article presents a review on software products for computer-assisted molecular modeling (CAMM) as well as for visualization and customization of results on personal computers with special attention to those working under MS Windows 9x/NT. Commercial computational products on the software market and some other useful free programs such as builders, visualizers and converters are reviewed. Properties of various packages, in particular implemented theoretical models, and the prices for academic customers are compared. Internet addresses are given of software companies and suppliers as well as some other interesting addresses for potential customers or teachers interested in general, structural and theoretical chemistry.
