This program package has been designed to discover reaction mechanisms and solve the kinetics in an automated fashion, using chemical dynamics simulations. The basic idea is to obtain transition state (TS) guess structures from trajectory simulations performed at very high energies or temperatures. From the obtained TS structures, minima and product fragments are determined following the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC). Then, with all the stationary points, the reaction network is constructed. Finally, the kinetics is solved using the Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method.

Introduction

Automekin.png

AutoMeKin (formerly tsscds) has been designed to discover reaction mechanisms in an automated fashion. Transition states are located using MD simulations and Graph Theory algorithms. Monte Carlo simulations afford kinetic results. The only input is a starting structure in XYZ format. The method is described in these two publications: 1 2. At present MOPAC2016, Entos Qcore and Gaussian 09 (G09) are interfaced with AutoMeKin. The program has been tested on the following Linux distros: CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.

The improvements briefly described below are available in AutoMeKin2021.

From revision 1096, AutoMeKin includes barrierless channels. However, these channels are not considered in the kinetics.

AutoMeKin has been interfaced with Entos Qcore

AutoMeKin has been interfaced with BXDE to enhance its efficiency ( R. A. Jara-Toro et al. ChemSystemsChem doi: 10.1002/syst.201900024).

The method has also been recently generalized in a collaboration with Dani Pelaez and co-workers to study van der Waals structures ( S. Kopec et al. Int. J. Quantum Chem. 2019, 119, e26008 ) and also to generate sum-of-products PESs for quantum dynamics ( R. Panades-Barrueta et al. Frontiers in Chemistry 2019, 7, 576).
