Software for Chemistry & Materials Information

SCM scientists are passionate to make computational chemistry work for you. We love to discuss your research challenges and learn about emerging technologies. Try the Amsterdam Modeling Suite to experience how our software can make your RD&I more efficient! Advance your chemistry or materials research with our powerful computational chemistry tools: whether you research organic electronics, chemical reactions, or (nano)materials, we have the right tools for you. The Amsterdam Modeling Suite offers molecular & periodic DFT, semi-empirical, reactive force fields and fluid thermodynamics all with an integrated GUI with a simple single-file binary on Windows, Mac and Linux. Our heritage: Software for Chemistry & Materials (SCM) originally spun out from the Vrije Universiteit as Scientific Computing & Modelling NV in 1995, the SCM team supports and develops the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, centered around the flagship program Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF), which was originally developed in the 1970s in the theoretical chemistry department. SCM is now a thriving private company collaborating with academic development groups around the world. SCM’s powerful computational chemistry tools are used by seasoned theoreticians as well as experimental researchers. Over a thousand users actively use our software in academia, government labs and industry - spanning as diverse research fields as fundamental chemical research, catalysis, pharmaceuticals, display and batteries.
