: Supports modeling of excited state potential energy surfaces using methods like TD-DFT and CASSCF. System Requirements for Gaussian 16W

: Includes a wide variety of Density Functional Theory (DFT) functionals (e.g., B3LYP, MN15) and Hartree-Fock (HF) methods.

: Users can locate transition structures using methods like QST2 and QST3, and then follow the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) to map the entire reaction path from reactants to products.

Note: All users must have read-write access to the designated "scratch" directory for temporary files.

: The software can investigate compounds that are difficult to observe experimentally due to toxicity, radioactivity, or their fleeting nature as short-lived intermediates.
