Jaguar Spectroscopy
Conformationally-dependent spectroscopic characterization based on quantum mechanics calculations
Accurately predict VCD and ECD spectra using an automated workflow
Jaguar Spectroscopy is an advanced computational spectra prediction tool that helps characterize the molecular structure of small molecules.
- Perform accurate and rapid computational prediction of VCD and ECD spectra with an automated workflow
- Determine stereo configuration in chiral molecules without crystallizing the molecule or using X-ray spectroscopy
- Benefit from the combined accuracy of conformational search by MacroModel and fast calculations based on pseudo-spectral density functional theory with Jaguar
Key Features
- Fast VCD and ECD calculations from a pseudo-spectral DFT implementation
- Easy-to-use graphical interface via Maestro
- Highly accurate conformational predictions using the OPLS4 force field
- Availability of multiple conformational search options
- Support for water, chloroform, ethanol, methanol, DMSO, and acetonitrile solvents through an implicit solvent model
- Automated Boltzmann averaging and alignment of IR and VCD theoretical and experimental spectra
