Experimental Chemistry
From the bench to the computer: Incorporating molecular modeling Into materials R&D

Enhance materials discovery, analysis, and optimization with scientifically-validated digital solutions

The field of experimental chemistry is rapidly transforming, thanks to digital technologies that can quickly test a hypothesis or rapidly iterate on an idea. These technologies can help speed the identification of the best molecules, formulations, or processes in complex materials systems.

As an experimental chemist, you know that efficiency matters and that’s why an ever-growing list of companies and institutions are adopting molecular simulation as part of their innovation practice to uncover faster and more cost-efficient materials innovations.

Advantages of the Schrödinger platform for experimentalists

Explore more target candidates in less time

  • Quickly screen large chemical spaces and identify promising candidates with target properties and performance
  • Greatly reduce time and cost on experimental trials and focus on the right problems and solutions

Gain deeper insights with fewer unknowns

  • Get a deep understanding of the “what” and the “why” at an atomic level of your materials systems with best-in-class, physics-based models
  • Generate insights into the unknown and confidently improve existing chemistry or pursue novel chemistry with advanced machine learning methods

Go beyond the limits of experiments

  • Test ideas that are challenging or impossible through traditional methods of experimentation
  • Complement your experiments with molecular simulation and machine learning to explore far beyond known chemical space and improve existing materials or generate novel ideas for new materials

Enhance your materials analysis capabilities

Improve your understanding of existing or new materials with simulated spectral data (e.g. NMR, XRD, IR)

You’re in good company

“I tried a few different modeling platforms, but as an experimentalist with no background in computational chemistry and limited coding experience, I found Schrödinger’s software the easiest to use.”
Jessica GoldenDirector of R&D, Sepion Technologies
“I’ve found that our customers in the mining sector don’t always understand the value of digital simulation — until they see it for themselves.”
Andrew JacksonScientist, Solvay
“By working closely with Schrödinger experts, we were impressed by how fast we were able to learn to apply molecular simulations, even with no prior modeling experience.”
