TURBOMOLE

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TURBOMOLE is a software package for ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of molecules in quantum chemistry , which was developed from the 1980s in Reinhart Ahlrichs' working group at the University of Karlsruhe and the Karlsruhe Research Center . This made it possible to calculate wave functions , geometries and properties of large molecules . This can be done at the level of the Hartree-Fock method , DFT or correlated wave function methods such as coupled cluster theory or Møller-Plesset perturbation theory . After determining the molecular structure, a large number of modules can be used to calculate important chemical and physical properties.

TURBOMOLE is one of the fastest and most stable programs for quantum chemical calculations and representations.

development

Until 2007, the basis of the program was designed and written by post-doctoral students and students around Ahlrichs. Over time, the circumstances developed in such a way that Ahlrichs had retired, and some scientists from his team still contributed something to the program and showed themselves responsible for it, but left the University of Karlsruhe in different directions. Accordingly, it became necessary to set up your own independent company. In 2007, the main developers of the program founded TURBOMOLE GmbH, based in Karlsruhe . The co-founders of the company were Reinhart Ahlrichs, Filipp Furche , Christof Hättig , Willem Maarten Klopper , Marek Sierka and Florian Weigend . The latter two are now the CEOs. This company is now responsible for coordinating the scientific development and holds all copyrights and intellectual property of the TURBOMOLE program. Part of the corporate philosophy is to invest all of the income in the further development of the program.

With constant further development, a very extensive tool has emerged in the almost 25 years of existence of the program, which is used academically and industrially. It can now be used in research fields relating to heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis , organic and inorganic chemistry , spectroscopy and biochemistry .

Applications

The following applications are covered by the TURBOMOLE program:
