Wavefunction, Inc. Information

Developers of the premier computational chemistry software for education and research, Wavefunction has been developing chemistry software for more than 20 years. Wavefunction's belief that computational chemistry should be an integral part of chemistry research lead to the creation of Spartan. While initially used for commercial research, Spartan has now become the program of choice for upper level chemistry courses and academic research at universities around the world. Wavefunction's belief that computational chemistry should play a greater role in chemistry education and research has lead us to create software for both all areas of chemistry education. Thousands of general, organic and physical chemistry students use our student software every year to aid in comprehension of complex chemistry concepts. General chemistry presents the opportunity to engage chemistry students at an early stage and the areas that computational chemistry and its associated visualization are many. Odyssey provides near research-grade modeling and uses it to help students learn the fundamental concepts crucial to further their chemistry careers. Spartan Student uses Spartan as its core while eliminating the more complex computational features to provide these introductory students with powerful computational software that's easy to use, providing organic and physical chemistry students all over the world access to research-grade software for use is lecture and lab.
