Python Multiscale Thermochemistry Toolbox (pmutt)

Project description

The Python Multiscale Thermochemistry Toolbox (pMuTT) is a Python library for Thermochemistry developed by the Vlachos Research Group at the University of Delaware. This code was originally developed to convert ab-initio data from DFT to observable thermodynamic properties such as heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy. These properties can be fit to empirical equations and written to different formats.
