Who knew they made grips in Digichem colours?!

Hey look, it's xTB, now on Digicloud! Developed by the github.com/grimme-lab, xTB is a semi-empirical method for (very!) rapid geometries and properties. You can even calculate a frankly irresponsible number of excited states with sTDA. Check it out! digi-chem.co.uk/get-started-...

When is a geometry optimisation actually done?

Here's a scientist with another hot take: it depends! Read about how we're investigating this phenomenon with @digichem.bsky.social here: www.linkedin.com/posts/oliver...

Do molecules have a natural orientation?

We scientists certainly think so! But convincing a computer is much more complicated.

Here's some of the ways we're tackling this problem in @digichem.bsky.social. Read more here: www.linkedin.com/posts/oliver...

It took many hours of extensive 'surgery', but I'm happy to report that our paper-crawling bots have been brought back from the brink! Check them out here:

Four DFT NMR calculations based on an initial conformer search of Caffeine. Even relatively minor structural changes (just CH3 rotations here) can lead to measurable changes in properties under the right conditions!

The latest Digichem release is out now digi-chem.co.uk/get-started-... ! Version 7.4 adds support for conformational searching using the CREST and CENSO engines of the Grimme group, see how it impacts the excited states of the classic OLED emitter 2CzIPN below!

Happy new year all! (We're not late are we?) Anyway to celebrate we've released Digichem 7.3, aka the NMR release! Head to digi-chem.co.uk to start running Digichem NMR simulations using Gaussian, Orca, Turbomole, and PySCF.

Everyone, please say hi to NanoKid! This intrepid little fellow is a member of the NanoPutians; molecules designed by the Tour group to look like people (mostly for educational purposes, but surely at least partially for fun). Calculated here in 3D with #Digichem 7 and #blender

A quick showcase of Digichem's NMR prediction capabilities, here recreating an experimental 1H NMR spectrum in DMSO using the Orca calculation engine. Not bad for a first try!

Experimental spectrum is published here: zurl.co/lbsnV

When scientists talk about molecules 'inspired by nature', this isn't normally what they mean! Named 'Sulflower' for it's resemblance to the plant, rather than being harvested from it, we still couldn't resist taking a closer look! Rendered with #digichem 7 and #blender.

We're big 'fans' of this little molecule! Part of the propellane family, so called because of their resemblance to aircraft propellers, we take a sneak peak at this one's FMOs. Rendered with #digichem 7 and #blender

Afternoon Digichemers! Just a quick announcement that version 7.0.0-pre.24 has just been released to address an issue when uploading input files on Windows machines. Your GUI should install the new update automatically when you next log in 😎

A few screens from the recent GUI update demonstrating the new settings page. Particularly excited to have automated updates for the backend implemented in this version!

Delighted to announce that the Digichem 7 open beta is here! This version of the program is the first to feature our new desktop GUI, giving you the option to totally ditch the command line if you want. Sign up now for the free beta! digi-chem.co.uk/get-started
