Molecular mass calculations
Project description
Molmass is a Python library, console script, and web application to calculate the molecular mass (average, nominal, and isotopic pure), the elemental composition, and the mass distribution spectrum of a molecule given by its chemical formula, relative element weights, or sequence.
Calculations are based on the isotopic composition of the elements. Mass deficiency due to chemical bonding is not taken into account.
The library includes a database of physicochemical and descriptive properties of the chemical elements.

Quickstart
Install the molmass package and all dependencies from the Python Package Index:
python -m pip install -U "molmass[all]"
Print the console script usage:
python -m molmass --help
Run the web application:
python -m molmass --web
The molmass library is documented via docstrings.
See Examples for using the programming interface.
Source code and support are available on GitHub.

Examples
Calculate the molecular mass, elemental composition, and mass distribution of a molecule from its chemical formula:
>>> from molmass import Formula >>> f = Formula('C8H10N4O2') # Caffeine >>> f Formula('C8H10N4O2') >>> f.formula # hill notation 'C8H10N4O2' >>> f.empirical 'C4H5N2O' >>> f.mass # average mass 194.1909... >>> f.nominal_mass # == f.isotope.massnumber 194 >>> f.monoisotopic_mass # == f.isotope.mass 194.0803... >>> f.atoms 24 >>> f.charge 0 >>> f.composition().dataframe() Count Relative mass Fraction Element...

Access physicochemical and descriptive properties of the chemical elements:
>>> from molmass import ELEMENTS, Element >>> e = ELEMENTS['C'] >>> e Element( 6, 'C', 'Carbon', group=14, period=2, block='p', series=1, mass=12.01074, eleneg=2.55, eleaffin=1.262118, covrad=0.77, atmrad=0.91, vdwrad=1.7, tboil=5100.0, tmelt=3825.0, density=3.51, eleconfig='[He] 2s2 2p2', oxistates='4*, 2, -4*', ionenergy=( 11.2603, 24.383, 47.877, 64.492, 392.077, 489.981, ), isotopes={ 12: Isotope(12.0, 0.9893, 12), 13: Isotope(13.00335483507, 0.0107, 13), }, ) >>> e.number 6 >>> e.symbol 'C' >>> e.name 'Carbon' >>> e.description 'Carbon is a member of group 14 of the periodic table...' >>> e.eleconfig '[He] 2s2 2p2' >>> e.eleconfig_dict {(1, 's'): 2, (2, 's'): 2, (2, 'p'): 2} >>> str(ELEMENTS[6]) 'Carbon' >>> len(ELEMENTS) 109 >>> sum(e.mass for e in ELEMENTS) 14693.181589001... >>> for e in ELEMENTS: ... e.validate() ... e = eval(repr(e)) ...
