AutoMeKin2021: An open-source program for automated reaction discovery

Abstract

AutoMeKin2021 is an updated version of tsscds2018, a program for the automated discovery of reaction mechanisms (J. Comput. Chem. 2018, 39, 1922). This release features a number of new capabilities: rare-event molecular dynamics simulations to enhance reaction discovery, extension of the original search algorithm to study van der Waals complexes, use of chemical knowledge, a new search algorithm based on bond-order time series analysis, statistics of the chemical reaction networks, a web application to submit jobs, and other features. The source code, manual, installation instructions and the website link are available at: https://rxnkin.usc.es/index.php/AutoMeKin.
