Description

MonaLisa is an optimizer for molecules and extended systems.

Key feature is a generalized subtractive QM:QM:... scheme, i.e. a system (molecule) can be divided into arbitrary number of sub-parts which can be treated using different qc methods. MonaLisa drives the optimization of the supersystem. It allows to optimize on BSSE-corrected basis set extrapolated potential energy surfaces.

MonaLisa:

  • provides structure minimizations, a transition state search, and a molecular dynamics module.
  • handles free and periodic boundary conditions.
  • interfaces to Turbomole, ORCA, VASP, CP2K, gulp, Crystal, CFOUR, Gaussian, MOLPRO and CPMD.
