COSMOtherm predicts a wide range of properties for
mixtures and pure compounds, such as boiling points,
vapor pressures, solubilities, ADME properties, viscosities,
partition coefficients, phase equilibria, phase diagrams,
azeotropes, heat of mixing, reaction thermodynamics,
activity coefficients, sigma profiles, pKa and much more. 
The award-winning COSMOtherm is based on quantum
chemistry and the novel COSMO-RS methodology
developed by Andreas Klamt, and so does not suffer from
the same limitations as the group-contribution methods. 
COSMOtherm is widely used in chemical process
engineering
, environmental chemistry, and life sciences.

Teaching Chemistry & Chemical Engineering

                         COSMOtherm-Edu is a special version of COSMOtherm designed for teaching
                          chemistry and chemical engineering.  It provides vivid graphical insight linking properties
                          to molecular structure, and it also calculates a wide range of physical and
                          thermodynamic properties (solubility, partition coefficients, vapor-liquid equilibria, etc.). 

COSMOtherm-Edu retains the full visualization and computational functionality of the commercial version that is used by chemists and chemical engineers throughout the world, and it includes a library of about 280 common compounds, solvents, and ionic liquids.  However, this teaching version is not licensed for research or for-profit and is limited to use with the included library of compounds.  No other software is required to use COSMOtherm-Edu.

Solvents & Chemicals Database
                     COSMObase is a database of over 6,000 DFT- optimized conformations of
                     common solvents and chemicals.  As the database is ready to use with COSMOtherm, it
                     can save a vast amount of computer time and resources. New compounds can be easily  
                     added using T
URBOMOLE DFT/COSMO calculations, or by request.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Ionic Liquids Database
COSMObase-IL is a database of about 200 pre-calculated COSMO files of commonly used and commercially available ionic liquid anions and cations.  COSMObase-IL facilitates the fast screening of thermodynamic properties and activity coefficients of solutes in these ionic liquids.  New anions and cations can be easily added using TURBOMOLE DFT/COSMO calculations, or by request.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Micelle & Biomembrane Modeling
COSMOmic models surfactant micelles or biomembranes as
inhomogeneous, layered liquids, allowing the calculation of properties
such as free energy profiles and membrane partition coefficients of
solutes.  COSMOmic can deal with neutral or ionic solutes in spherical,
cylindrical or lamellar type membranes.

Similarity Screening with Sigma-profiles
                                                          COSMOsim is an extension of COSMOfrag (see below).  It
                                                          performs sigma-profile similarity searches on large libraries of
                                                          molecules.  Since sigma-profiles correlate closely with ADME
                                                          properties and drug-receptor binding, COSMOsim can offer
                                                          valuable new ideas for drug analogues that may be missed by
                                                          other methods.  A key advantage of COSMOsim is its scaffold-
                                                          hopping capability, as it is based on similarity of properties rather
                                                          than the underlying chemical structures.

High-throughput Screening (ADME)
COSMOfrag is a program for the rapid generation of sigma-profiles of
novel compounds from a database of pre-computed DFT COSMO files
of drug-like molecules.  Combined with COSMOtherm, it can estimate
thermodynamic  properties of new compounds in a fraction of a
second.  COSMOfrag is designed for high-throughput applications
such as pharmaceutical R&D, where full DFT calculations on every
candidate molecule would not be practical.  When searching large
libraries of candidate molecules for ADME and other thermodynamic
properties, COSMOfrag offers a huge gain in speed and throughput
for only a slight loss in accuracy.

COSMOtherm prerequisites

Platforms 
     COSMOtherm is available for Windows®, Linux, and Macintosh.

COSMO files
     COSMOtherm requires special "COSMO files" that contain specific pre-formatted information for each
     compound or ion, in order to perform its statistical thermodynamic calculations.  These COSMO files are
     available in pre-packaged libraries or, they can created with certain quantum chemistry programs (see
     below).  Although, creation of the COSMO files is slow compared to the COSMOtherm calculation itself, the
     COSMO files for any new compound need be created only once, then they can be added to a library for future
     use. (Tutorial)

Accuracy
     The accuracy of COSMOtherm calculations is dependant on using files created by  the recommended
     settings for the quantum calculation.  In addition, from time to time, improvements are made to COSMOtherm
     which necessitate changes to the quantum method, such as the recent new cavity construction method. 
     Hence, it is important that the library or quantum method used to prepare the COSMO files is consistent with
     the version of COSMOtherm being used.  Only T
URBOMOLE and COSMObase are warranted by COSMOlogic to
     be maintained up-to-date with the latest version of COSMOtherm

     Before relying on results from COSMO files generated by third-party programs, it is recommended that test
     results be compared with results from the appropriate version of the COSMObase library or T
URBOMOLE.

COSMO files versus COSMO solvent field
     The ability to create the special COSMO files required for COSMOtherm, is based on the published
     COSMO-RS method, which is quite different from, and not to be confused with, the simple COSMO solvent
     field capability that many quantum chemistry programs use.  Although, most quantum chemistry programs
     include the COSMO solvent field capability, only a few have the additional functionality to create the special
     COSMO files required by COSMOtherm.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Recommended sources of COSMO files for COSMOtherm

1.
  Purchase a ready made library of common compounds, e.g. COSMObase

     COSMObase is a library of over 6,000 COSMO files of common solvents and solutes, available as
     an extra-cost option.  COSMObase-IL is an ionic liquid library of about 200 anions and cations.  These
     libraries can save a lot of labor and calculation time when dealing with common compounds, and are
     available from CAChe Research.

2.  Create your own library using T
URBOMOLE and COSMOconf

     T
URBOMOLE is a quantum chemistry program that can create COSMO files for virtually any compound or ion
     (it is not a database).  T
URBOMOLE is fully supported and updated by COSMOlogic to give the optimum
     results with each new release of COSMOtherm, and is available from CAChe Research.  Creating COSMO
     files is a relatively time-consuming step however, once the COSMO files have been created, they can be
     stored in a library for future use.

     COSMOconf improves the accuracy by finding the lowest energy conformer(s) of the compound of interest. 
     COSMOconf is not absolutely necessary, but it does improve accuracy for flexible molecules.

Other sources of COSMO files
     DISCLAIMER:  The following third party programs are able to create COSMO files that may or may not
     conform to the standards recommended for use with the latest version of COSMOtherm.  Since they have
     not been tested by COSMOlogic, no warranties are made as to their suitability.  Only T
URBOMOLE is
     maintained and supported by COSMOlogic and warranted to be fully compatible with COSMOtherm.  Please
     contact the respective companies and institutions for further information and support for the following:

3.  Gaussian: Version 03, Revisions B.01 up to C.01, (between October 2003 and March 2006) of Gaussian
     are able to create COSMO files for COSMOtherm.  As of 2009, current versions of Gaussian no longer
     support COSMOtherm.  Please contact Gaussian Inc. for further details.

4.  DMol3: some versions of DMol3 are able to create COSMO files for COSMOtherm.  Please contact
     Accelrys Software Inc. for further details.

5.  GAMESS: although, not in the official release, the ability to create COSMO files has been implemented in
     GAMESS.  Please contact the GAMESS research group at
the University of Zürich for further information.
