animation with quantum chemical calculations, molecular mechanics, and dynamics,
HyperChem puts more molecular modeling tools at your fingertips than any other
Windows program.
Our newest version, HyperChem Release 8.0, is a full 32-bit application,
developed for the Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista operating systems.
HyperChem Release 8.0 incorporates even more powerful computational chemistry
tools than ever before, as well as supporting multiple third-party applications.
Its drawing and rendering capabilities and ease of use are standards for the
industry.

What is HyperChem?
HyperChem is a sophisticated molecular modeling environment that is known for
its quality, flexibility, and ease of use. Uniting 3D visualization and
animation with quantum chemical calculations, molecular mechanics and dynamics,
HyperChem puts more molecular modeling tools at your fingertips than any other
Windows program. It includes all the components of structure, thermodynamics,
spectra, and kinetics.

What is New in HyperChem 8?
HyperChem 8.0 is the latest release of HyperChem. It introduces extensive new
features that add to its industry-leading position. This is particuarly true
with regard to its "open architecture" and HyperChem's ability to interact with
other programs such as Excel and Word or third-party packages in computational
chemistry.
Third-Party Interfaces In spite of the fact that HyperChem has extensive
and elegant number crunching capabilities, it can't be all things to all
computational chemists. With Release 8, an effort to enable HyperChem as a
universal component in computational chemistry begins. Release 8 includes an
interface to six third-party packages that are in common use in computational
chemistry. None of these packages includes a native graphical user interface.
Each benefits from the capabilities of HyperChem and each set of users now has
capabilities never imagined before. Now PC Gamess, WinGamess, PQS, Q-Chem,
Gaussian, and Mopac2007 can all be transparently executed by HyperChem. Now each
of these can act as a computational engine for HyperChem. They add to the large
number of native computational engines already in HyperChem, such as HyperGauss,
HyperDFT, etc. The world just got easier.

HyperChem Release 8.0 Feature Summary
Structure Input and Manipulation
Building molecules with HyperChem is simple: just choose an element from the
periodic table, and click and drag with the mouse to sketch a structure as you
would on paper, prior to applying the model builder to convert your 2D sketch to
a 3D structure. Alternatively, select Hydrogen atoms and substitute them with a
variety of substituents including your own custom substituent. If you make a
mistake, just push the Undo button. Mouse control of rotation around bonds,
stereochemistry, and "rubber banding" of bonds makes changing structures easy.
Extensive selection, highlighting, and display capabilities make it easy to
focus on areas of interest in complex molecules.

Computational Chemistry
Use HyperChem to explore quantum or classical model potential energy surfaces
with single point, geometry optimization, or transition state search
calculations. Include the effects of thermal motion with molecular dynamics,
Langevin dynamics or Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations. User-defined structural
restraints may be added. Use translational, rotational, and vibrational
partition functions to calculate entropies, heat capacities, and free energies.
Types of Calculations
- Single point calculations determine the molecular energy and properties for a
given fixed geometry; SCF, configuration interaction, or MP2.
- Geometry optimization calculations employ energy minimization algorithms to
locate stable structures. Six minimization algorithms are provided. Even
calculate geometries with MP2 or for excited states.
- Vibrational frequency calculations find the normal vibrational modes of an
optimized structure. The vibrational spectrum can be displayed (with IR
intensities) and the vibrational motions associated with specific transitions
can be animated.
- Electronic spectra with visual display of frequencies and intensities.
- Transition state searching locates the metastable structures corresponding to
transition states using either Eigenvector Following or Synchronous Transit
methods. Molecular properties are then calculated.
- Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations compute classical trajectories for
molecular systems. Quantum forces can be used to model reactive collisions.
Heating, equilibration, and cooling periods can be employed for simulated
annealing and for studies of other temperature-dependent processes. Both
constant energy and constant temperature simulations are available.
- Langevin dynamics simulations add frictional and stochastic forces to
conventional molecular dynamics to model solvent collisional effects without
inclusion of explicit solvent molecules.
- Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations sample configurations from a statistical
ensemble at a given temperature and are useful for exploring the possible
configurations of a system as well as for computing temperature-dependent
equilibrium averages.
- Calculate the energy and entropy at a temperature T using an analysis of the
translation, rotation, and vibration of a molecule. Subsequently obtain the free
energy as A=E-TS.
- Calculate the equilibrium constant for any reaction and plot as a function of
the temperature.
- Calculate the rate constant for unimolecular and bimolecular reactions from
the HyperChem (or other) structures obtained for the transition state and the
reactant species. Plot the rate constant as a function of temperature.
- Calculate heat capacities for molecules at temperature T from their
translation, rotation, and vibration.
- Apply a superimposed electric field to any molecular system. See what changes
this makes to any molecular modeling result such as structure, energetics, and
reactivity.
- Apply a superimposed magnetic field to a molecular system for a subset of the
semi-empirical methods.
- Specify that your results be described by any of the three system of units -
kJ, kCal, or atomic units(Hartrees.).
- Calculations generally apply to any applicable method, e.g. - ab initio
- MD or vibrational spectra with DFT, etc.
- QSAR properties (Gasteiger charges, surface area (2 methods), volume,
hydration energy, log P, refractivity, sum of bond polarizabilities, mass).
- Conformational search (Monte Carlo generation of conformers, subsequent
optimization, and simple collection of table of low energy conformers); easy
inspection and manipulation of each conformer.
- NMR shielding and coupling constants with optional subsequent computation and
display of 1-D spectra; special TNDO technology gives rapid computation of NMR
parameters with improved accuracy over other semi-empirical methods.
Ab Initio Quantum Mechanics
- Choose from many commonly-used basis sets (STO-1G to 6-311++g2d2p) including
the standardized STO-3G, 3-21G, 6-31G*, and 6-31G** basis sets
- Extra basis functions ( s, p, d, sp, spd ) can be added to individual atoms or
to groups of atoms.
- Users can define their own basis sets or modify existing basis sets easily
using HyperChem's documented basis set file format.

eliminate basis set extension.

UHF.
Density Functional Theory (DFT)

Ab Initio
module, e.g. molecular dynamics, vibrations, etc.

semi-empirical parameters assigned to atom types rather than atomic numbers
(improved accuracy using ideas from molecular mechanics).

Mixed Mode Calculations
HyperChem allows you to perform quantum calculations on part of a molecular
system, such as the solute, while treating the rest of the system classically.
This boundary technique is available for semi-empirical methods and, with some
limits, for ab initio and DFT calculations.
