Spartan is a

post-Hartree–Fock models,[5] and thermochemical recipes including G3(MP2)[6] and T1.[7] Quantum chemistry calculations in Spartan are powered by Q-Chem.[8]

Primary functions are to supply information about structures, relative stabilities and other properties of isolated molecules. Molecular mechanics calculations on complex molecules are common in the chemical community. Quantum chemical calculations, including Hartree–Fock method molecular orbital calculations, but especially calculations that include electronic correlation, are more time-consuming in comparison.

quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)[10] analyses, and intermolecular potentials for molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics
calculations.

Spartan applies computational chemistry methods (theoretical models) to many standard tasks that provide calculated data applicable to the determination of molecular shape conformation, structure (equilibrium and transition state geometry), NMR, IR, Raman, and UV-visible spectra, molecular (and atomic) properties, reactivity, and selectivity.

Computational abilities

This software provides the

Recife Model 1 (RM1)[19] PM6.[20]
The calculated T1[7] heat of formation (y axis) relative to the experimental heat of formation (x axis) for a set of >1800 diverse organic molecules from the NIST thermochemical database[30] with mean absolute and RMS errors of 8.5 and 11.5 kJ/mol, respectively.

Tasks performed

Available computational models provide molecular, thermodynamic, QSAR, atomic, graphical, and spectral properties. A calculation dialogue provides access to the following computational tasks:

  • Energy[71] – For a given geometry, provides energy and associated properties of a molecule or system. If quantum chemical models are employed, the wave function is calculated.
  • Equilibrium molecular geometry[72] - Locates the nearest local minimum and provides energy and associated properties.
  • Transition state geometry[72] - Locates the nearest first-order saddle point (a maximum in a single dimension and minima in all others) and provides energy and associated properties.
  • Equilibrium conformer[72] – Locates lowest-energy conformation. Often performed before calculating structure
    using a quantum chemical model.
  • Conformer distribution[71] – Obtains a selection of low-energy conformers. Commonly used to identify the shapes a specific molecule is likely to adopt and to determine a Boltzmann distribution for calculating average molecular properties.
  • Conformer library[71] – Locates lowest-energy conformer and associates this with a set of conformers spanning all shapes accessible to the molecule without regard to energy. Used to build libraries for similarity analysis.
  • Energy profile[71] – Steps a molecule or system through a user defined coordinate set, providing equilibrium geometries for each step (subject to user-specified constraints).
  • Similarity analysis[71] – quantifies the likeness of molecules (and optionally their conformers) based on either structure or chemical function (Hydrogen bond acceptors–donors, positive–negative ionizables, hydrophobes, aromatics). Quantifies likeness of a molecule (and optionally its conformers) to a pharmacophore.

Graphical user interface

The software contains an integrated graphical user interface. Touch screen operations are supported for Windows 7 and 8 devices. Construction of molecules in 3D is facilitated with molecule builders (included are organic, inorganic, peptide, nucleotide, and substituent builders). 2D construction is supported for organic molecules with a 2D sketch palette. The Windows version interface can access ChemDraw; which versions 9.0 or later may also be used for molecule building in 2D. A calculations dialogue is used for specification of task and computational method. Data from calculations are displayed in dialogues, or as text output. Additional data analysis, including linear regression, is possible from an internal spreadsheet.[71]

Graphical models

A cut-away view of the electrostatic potential map of fullerene (C60), the blue area inside the molecule is an area of positive charge (relative to the superstructure, providing a pictorial explanation for fullerene's ability to encapsulate negatively charged species).

Graphical models, especially molecular orbitals, electron density, and electrostatic potential maps, are a routine means of molecular visualization in chemistry education.[73][74][75][76][77]

  • Surfaces:
    • Molecular orbitals (highest occupied, lowest unoccupied, and others)
    • Electron density – The density, ρ(r), is a function of the coordinates r, defined such that ρ(r)dr is the number of electrons inside a small volume dr. This is what is measured in an X-ray diffraction experiment. The density may be portrayed in terms of an isosurface (isodensity surface) with the size and shape of the surface being given by the value (or percentage of enclosure) of the electron density.
    • Spin density – The density, ρspin(r), is defined as the difference in electron density formed by electrons of α spin, ρα(r), and the electron density formed by electrons of β spin, ρβ(r). For closed-shell molecules (in which all electrons are paired), the spin density is zero everywhere. For open-shell molecules (in which one or more electrons are unpaired), the spin density indicates the distribution of unpaired electrons. Spin density is an indicator of reactivity of radicals.[72]
    • Van der Waals radius (surface)
    • Solvent accessible surface area
    • Electrostatic potential – The potential, εp, is defined as the energy of interaction of a positive point charge located at p with the nuclei and electrons of a molecule. A surface for which the electrostatic potential is negative (a negative potential surface) delineates regions in a molecule which are subject to electrophilic attack.
  • Composite surfaces (maps):
    • Electrostatic potential map (electrophilic indicator) – The most commonly employed property map is the electrostatic potential map. This gives the potential at locations on a particular surface, most commonly a surface of electron density corresponding to overall molecular size.[71]
    • Local ionization potential map – Is defined as the sum over orbital electron densities, ρi(r) times absolute orbital energies, ∈i, and divided by the total electron density, ρ(r). The local ionization potential reflects the relative ease of electron removal ("ionization") at any location around a molecule. For example, a surface of "low" local ionization potential for sulfur tetrafluoride demarks the areas which are most easily ionized.
    • LUMO map (nucleophilic indicator) – Maps of molecular orbitals may also lead to graphical indicators. For example, the LUMO map, wherein the (absolute value) of the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (the LUMO) is mapped onto a size surface (again, most commonly the electron density), providing an indication of nucleophilic reactivity.

Available spectra data and plots for:

Experimental spectra may be imported for comparison with calculated spectra: IR and UV/vis spectra in Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data (JCAMP)[86] (.dx) format and NMR spectra in Chemical Markup Language (.cml) format. Access to public domain spectral databases is available for IR, NMR, and UV/vis spectra.

Databases

Spartan accesses several external databases.

  • Quantum chemical calculations databases:
  • Experimental databases:
    • NMRShiftDB[88] – an open-source database of experimental 1H and 13C chemical shifts.
    • Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)[89] - a large repository of small molecule organic and inorganic experimental crystal structures of about 600,000 entries.
    • NIST database[30] of experimental IR and UV/vis spectra.
