Welcome to ARC's Developer's Guide

ARC - Automated Rate Calculator is a software for automating electronic structure calculations relevant for chemical kinetic modeling. ARC has many advanced options, yet at its core it is simple: it accepts 2D graph representations of chemical species (e.g., SMILES or adjacency lists), and automatically executes, tracks, and process relevant electronic structure jobs on user-defined servers. The principal outputs of ARC are thermodynamic properties (H, S, Cp) and high-pressure limit kinetic rate coefficients for the defined species and reactions. (Note that automating transition states is still in progress).
