- AMPAC
AMPAC is a general-purpose semiempirical
quantum chemistry program. It is marketed by Semichem, Inc. [ "Computational Chemistry", David Young, Wiley-Interscience, 2001. Appendix A. A.3.1 pg 341, AMPAC ] and was developed originally by Michael Dewar and his group.The first version of AMPAC (2.1) was made available in 1985 through the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange ( [http://qcpe.chem.indiana.edu/ QCPE] ). Subsequent versions were released through the same source, representing minor updates and optimized versions for other platforms.
In 1992, [http://www.semichem.com Semichem, Inc.] was formed at Professor Dewar's urging to maintain and market the program. "AMPAC 4.0 with Graphical User Interface" was released in August of that year. Semichem's current version of AMPAC is 8.16.
AMPAC current implements the
SAM1 ,AM1 ,MNDO , MNDO/d, PM3,MNDO C MINDO/3, RM1 and PM6 semiempirical methods. See [http://www.semichem.com/ampac/default.php this page] for a detailed description of AMPAC's current capabilities.See also
