Evaluation of Theoretical Descriptors for NMOverview The MOPAC program performs semi-empirical (quantum mechanical) calculations for the evaluation of theoretical descriptors (molecular and electronic properties) of NMs to tackle the size of NMs efficiently, i.e. the large number of atoms in a NM. The effect of solvents can be captured by the COSMO method implemented in…
