Core data structures for Quantum Chemistry. QCElemental also contains physical constants and periodic table data from NIST and molecule handlers.
Periodic Table and Physical Constants data are pulled from NIST srd144 and srd121, respectively (details) in a renewable manner (class around NIST-published JSON file).
This project also contains a generator, validator, and translator for Molecule QCSchema.
-
Installation. QCElemental supports Python 3.7+.
python -m pip install qcelemental
-
To install QCElemental with molecule visualization capabilities (useful in iPython or Jupyter notebook environments):
python -m pip install 'qcelemental[viz]` -
To install QCElemental with various alignment capabilities using
networkxpython -m pip install 'qcelemental[align]` -
Or install both:
python -m pip install 'qcelemental[viz,align]` -
See documentation
A variety of periodic table quantities are available using virtually any alias:
>>> import qcelemental as qcel
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_E('KRYPTON')
'Kr'
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_element(36)
'Krypton'
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_Z('kr84')
36
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_A('Kr')
84
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_A('D')
2
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_mass('kr', return_decimal=True)
Decimal('83.9114977282')
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_mass('kr84')
83.9114977282
>>> qcel.periodictable.to_mass('Kr86')
85.9106106269Physical constants can be acquired directly from the NIST CODATA:
>>> import qcelemental as qcel
>>> qcel.constants.Hartree_energy_in_eV
27.21138602
>>> qcel.constants.get('hartree ENERGY in ev')
27.21138602
>>> pc = qcel.constants.get('hartree ENERGY in ev', return_tuple=True)
>>> pc.label
'Hartree energy in eV'
>>> pc.data
Decimal('27.21138602')
>>> pc.units
'eV'
>>> pc.comment
'uncertainty=0.000 000 17'Alternatively, with the use of the Pint unit conversion package, arbitrary conversion factors can be obtained:
>>> qcel.constants.conversion_factor("bohr", "miles")
